The editor of post EU referendum ‘pop-up’ newspaper title the New European has said he hopes the newspaper will continue beyond four issues and that even he had been “surprised” by the quality of its content.

Matt Kelly, chief content officer at Archant, told Press Gazette the positive reaction the publication has received so far shows there is space in the media landscape for a pro-Europe voice in the press.

He said: “Nobody expected the quality of content to be as it is. I’ve been surprised myself. It’s been outstanding.”
