The editor of the Mid Devon Gazette has taken on additional responsibility for Exeter's Express and Echo.
Patrick Phelvin has replaced Jon-Paul Hedge as editor of the twice-weekly newspaper.
According to his LinkedIn page, Phelvin was a production journalist at the Express and Echo between 2004 and 2006.
After a spell as a freelance, he returned to the company in 2007 as a sub-editor working across several South West titles.
