After years of seemingly never ending cutbacks, Trinity Mirror's national titles are hiring again. The latest addition to the Daily Mirror is Ian Hyland, the TV columnist formerly of the Mail on Sunday and News of the World. Hyland is no stranger to Trinity, having started his Fleet Street career as a showbiz hack at the Sunday Mirror in 2000. He returns to the Mirror fold with a weekly TV column in the daily title, starting on Tuesday. The Mirror's previous TV columnist, Jim Shelley, thumbed his remote for the last time in November. Lloyd Embley, editor-in-chief of the national Mirror papers, described Hyland's appointment as "a fantastic signing". He is the latest high-profile addition to the Mirror's ranks since Embley took over in October 2012. His arrival follows the return of Andy Lines as chief reporter, and the introduction of new columns by Lord Prescott in the Daily Mirror and Carole Malone in the Sunday Mirror. Game on.
