Mitchinson becomes group editor for eight weekly titles

By Oliver Luft

James Mitchinson, editor of the Worksop Guardian, has been appointed as group editor for East Midlands Newspapers weeklies in Lincolnshire and Leicestershire.

Mitchinson takes up his new role overseeing the eight Johnston Press-owned newspapers on 21 March.

In addition to Mitchinson having direct editorial responsibility for the Grantham Journal and Citizen, the editors of the Melton Times, Sleaford Standard, Boston Standard, Horncastle News, Market Rasen Mail, Louth Leader and Skegness Standard will also report to him in his new role.

Richard Parkinson, managing director of East Midlands Newspapers, informed staff earlier this month that Mitchinson would be taking control of the eight titles.
