Having journalistic rivals, backing political parties and wearing suits are "old-fashioned" concepts in the new media world, according to the editor of Huffington Post UK.

Stephen Hull, who took over from Carla Buzasi just over a year ago, says HuffPost's "mission" is to be "neutral and report stories in a really articulate way".

Hull, 40, joined HuffPost UK shortly after its 2011 launch as executive editor. He was previously head of content at Metro.co.uk and started his career in journalism at the Reading Chronicle in 2000.
