The Sunday Times city editor James Ashton is moving to the same post at the London Evening Standard. He replaces Chris Blackhurst, who is now editor of The Independent.
Ashton has been with the Sunday Times for four years and before that was chief city correspondent at the Daily Mail for over three years.
He is an alumnus of City University London (where I teach), graduating in 1998 and originally working for Reuters.
