Newspaper cuts ties with former longstanding editor, sources say, as government eases path to Ofcom chair
Paul Dacre has departed his role as chair of the Daily Mail’s parent company, sources say, with the newspaper also no longer paying for his secretary and chauffeur.
Although Dacre stood down as editor of the Daily Mail in 2018, he remained on the payroll after being given the largely honorific positions of chair and editor-in-chief of parent company Associated Newspapers.
