Wilson retires from Mirror
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Charles Wilson, former acting editor of The Independent, has retired as managing director of Mirror Group, one of the share- holders in The Independent. Mr Wilson, who was also a former editor of the Times, has also resigned from the board of Mirror Group.
Mr Wilson, a robust Scot, started in newspapers in 1951 and made his name on the Daily Mail. He has since edited Glasgow's Evening Times, the Chicago Sun-Times and the Sporting Life.
Mr Wilson's departure has allowed Mirror Group to restructure its senior management and his operational responsibilities will be taken over by Kelvin MacKenzie, former editor of The Sun. Mr MacKenzie will be deputy chief executive and group managing director reporting to the chief executive David Montgomery.
