Geordie Greig’s ousting as editor of the Daily Mail – and the decision to appoint his replacement, Ted Verity, as editor of a seven-day operation – is likely to mean the end of one of Fleet Street’s most bitter rivalries.

The culture secretary, Nadine Dorries, has insisted she does not use her financial power over the BBC to put pressure on the broadcaster’s news coverage after writing a tweet aimed at the corporation’s political editor, Laura Kuenssberg.

Testimony in the fraud trial of Ms. Holmes, the founder of the blood testing start-up Theranos, shows how much coverage of the tech industry has changed over the years. SAN JOSE, Calif.
Overdue reconsideration of the cheerleading business and tech reporters are often guilty of. It reminds me of the way being on the cover of BusinessWeek was so often a sell signal on any chief executive.
