Daily Telegraph sacks editor Tony Gallagher in shock move designed to "move beyond putting new online" - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/press/daily-telegraph-sacks-editor-tony-gallagher-in-shock-move-designed-to-move-beyond-putting-news-9075547.html
Summary: The Daily Telegraph has sacked its editor, Tony Gallagher, and declared it will “reinvent the way we work” and move beyond news publishing. The new editor: Jason Seiken, said - "we must reinvent the way we work and move beyond simply putting news and information online and be an essential part of the audience’s lives. Our competition is no longer only newspapers and we must innovate to survive.” This article also said that to protect the company's future they need to rapidly embrace and adapt to the new digital world in which their customers live in. Gallagher is admired within the newspaper industry for his news sense and his ablible to manage a big story.
- While being a deputy editor he played a crucial role in the Telegraph's coverage of the MP's expenses scandal in 2009.
- He was given a traditional “banging out” send off by the paper’s shocked staff yesterday and has been tipped as a possible future editor of the Daily Mail.
My opinion: I think that Daily Telegraph have the right to move forward as a company in terms of how they deliver their news. Since now that newspapers are slowly dying in the media, publishers need to try to fit with the current generations and the technology that is being used by their customers, this is crucial if publishers want to survive in the media and it could be possibly the only way most of the customers read news and keep updated.
