The editors of Glasgow dailies the Herald and Evening Times are stepping down as owner Newsquest brings both titles under the responsibility of a single editor-in-chief.

Herald editor Graeme Smith and Evening Times editor Graham Shields are set to leave the company on 22 December after 17 years and 19 years of service respectively.

Donald Martin (pictured), former editor of the Sunday Post who was appointed editor-in-chief of Newsquest’s Scottish titles in November last year, will now edit both newspapers.
