Richards for the New Statesman?
Fraser Nelson 5:50pmHas Times Online just scooped Media Guardian on a media story? Sam Coates has a one-liner in Red Box saying that Steve Richards (one of CoffeeHouse’s favourite columnists from the other side) of the Independent and GMTV is off to replace John Kampfner as editor of the New Statesman. It’s our opposite number in the magazine world, but not really our rival: not many people stand in front of WH Smith going “eeny meeny miny moe” with our two titles. Most folk are inclined one way or the other. So I can sincerely wish Steve good luck - if the rumours are true.
