Trinity Mirror has announced that Media Scotland managing director and editor-in-chief Allan Rennie will leave the company.
Rennie’s departure comes after 24 years at the company, during which he served as editor of both the Daily Record and Sunday Mail newspapers.
The move comes as part of “changes” to Trinity Mirror’s organisational structure, according to a spokesperson for the publisher.
Daily Record editor Murray Foote stepped down in February after four years and was replaced by Media Scotland digital director David Dick.
