Michael Gove Named New Editor of The Spectator After £100M Sale

Former Conservative minister Michael Gove will replace Fraser Nelson following the magazine's acquisition by Sir Paul Marshall.

Michael Gove, a former Conservative cabinet minister, will take over as editor of The Spectator on October 8.
The appointment follows the recent £100 million purchase of the magazine by hedge fund manager Sir Paul Marshall.
Fraser Nelson, who has been editor for 15 years, will continue to contribute as an associate editor.
Charles Moore, former editor of The Spectator and The Telegraph, will become the non-executive chairman.
The new ownership aims to expand The Spectator's reach, particularly in North America and the Anglosphere.
