Sun editor Tony Gallagher has moved to News UK stablemate the Times to take up the recently vacated deputy editor role and is replaced at the daily tabloid by Sun on Sunday editor Victoria Newton.

Keith Poole, digital editor at the Sun, has been promoted to deputy editor, completing a senior editorial shake-up at the two Rupert Murdoch-owned news titles that had been touted in recent weeks.

Newton (pictured) and Poole will continue to have oversight of the Sun on Sunday, but it is unclear if a dedicated editor for the paper will be appointed or if Newton will continue to edit it as well.
