When an editor-in-chief and "chief content officer" is appointed over your head, editors start to feel nervous.

So it is not the greatest shock that four months after American digital guru Jason Seiken's appointment to the above roles, Daily Telegraph editor Tony Gallagher has gone – with his duties redistributed among existing staff.

The job he did no longer exists. Instead associate editor (news) Chris Evans now takes on responsibility for the print edition (Monday to Friday). And Sunday editor Ian MacGregor has the Saturday edition added to his portfolio.
