Known for his sharp commentary and willingness to challenge powerful institutions, Hooton brings a unique insider perspective to the paper, promising deeper, more rigorous reporting without overhauling the team. Former editor Luke Malpass moves to associate editor, while owner Sinead Boucher insists there’s no conflict of interest — the real test will be in the content. Hooton’s goal? To accelerate the paper’s mission, not fix it — delivering more challenging, broader stories for readers. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
