Six more contributors to The Oldie, and a sub-editor described by the departed editor Richard Ingrams as "irreplaceable", have left the magazine, reports Press Gazette.
The seven decided to go following the appointment last Wednesday of Ingrams's successor, Alexander Chancellor.
They are sub-editor Deborah Asher, diary editor Sarah Shannon, Tim Minogue, Piers Brandon, Melanie McFadyean, Nigel Fountain and religion correspondent Melanie McDonagh.
The Gazette quotes Ingrams as saying of McDonagh's "very noble gesture" to leave that "she will definitely go to heaven now."
Other contributors who previously resigned in sympathy with Ingrams include Terry Wogan, Candida Lycett Green, Patrick Cockburn, John Sweeney, Sam Taylor, Alice Pitman and Peter Lewis.
Ingrams resigned on 30 May after saying he was too old to attend a disciplinary hearing, having been summoned to one by the magazine's publisher James Pembroke.
According to a Daily Telegraph article about Chancellor's appointment, Ingrams called him "a bloody fool" for taking on "a poisoned chalice."
