Charlie Burgess, who stood in as media editor of The Guardian while Janine Gibson was on maternity leave, is to get the job permanently now that Gibson has been promoted.
He said: “I am very pleased to do it permanently.” He will edit Monday’s Media Guardian section.
Burgess joined The Guardian in 1977 as a sports sub. He returned, after a year at the Liverpool Daily Post, to become a sports writer and then deputy sports editor until the mid-Eighties, when he joined The Independent as sports editor.
