City AM has appointed The Independent’s former business news editor David Hellier as news editor.
Hellier is replacing Michael Glackin, who is leaving the newspaper for personal reasons.
Hellier was business news editor at the Independent for three and a half years
during which the section won the Wincott award for best financial section of the year.
David Parsley, editor of City AM, said: “David is an excellent hire for City AM and shows we are already focusing on bringing even more talent into the paper in our second year. He is replacing an excellent news editor – Michael Glackin – who has been a superb member of the team and I wish him all the best for the future.”
