Senior executives at paper’s parent company furious at former editor’s remarks
The former Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre’s future relationship with the newspaper is in doubt, after he made an extraordinary public attack on his successor, Geordie Greig, which infuriated senior executives at its parent company.
In a letter to the Financial Times last Friday, Dacre complained that Greig had been “economic with the actualité” when he said in an interview that advertisers had returned to the newspaper in recent months. Dacre was furious at Greig’s implication that the Mail had become too toxic under his leadership, before going on to criticise his successor’s journalistic record.
