thank him for his enormous contribution to the Independent cause, and I fully support his decision to move on, and wish him the very best for the
future.”
Tristan Davies said: ‘After ten years at Independent News & Media, and over six as editor of The Independent on Sunday, I have decided it is time for
me to move on and seek new challenges. I would like to thank my brilliant staff for their tireless dedication and support, and I am immensely proud
of our achievements together. I am particularly proud of our campaigns for the rights of the mentally ill and, most recently, for the honouring of the
Military Covenant and better treatment of British troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. I would like to thank Sir Anthony O’Reilly for giving me the
opportunity of editing a great paper that remains a vibrant voice in British journalism. And I wish the Independent and the Independent on
Sunday all the success they deserve in the years to come.’
