Departure of Wheatcroft at Sunday Telegraph spells uncertainty for former Scotsman editor Martin

FORMER SCOTSMAN editor Iain Martin's future at The Sunday Telegraph looks doubtful following the unexpected departure of editor Patience Wheatcroft.

Martin, who is deputy editor of the Sunday paper, was on holiday last week when it emerged that Wheatcroft was leaving after only 18 months in the post. Not only has he been passed over for the top job in favour of Daily Telegraph deputy editor Ian MacGregor, he will have to adjust to the fact that daily editor Will Lewis is now editor-in-chief of both titles.
