Change in editors at Wisden

In the Daily Telegraph Scyld Berry looks back at his four years as editor of Wisden, and makes it clear he is unhappy at losing the job after a relatively short stint.

The Guardian commented last week that the change in editorship had been made in ‘ill-explained circumstances’ — and I can only agree. When I was called into the Soho office last October, the then chief executive explained that I had been “a very good editor” but that after four years, my year-by-year consultancy agreement would not be renewed because another editor was wanted to run a new website; then added, “it might be the wrong decision”.
