Sunday Herald’s triumph over Ryan Giggs super injunction

JOKES and silliness aside, there was not one member of staff unaffected by Jaspan leaving for the other side of the world – to many he’d been a mentor. I especially admired him for giving me my head as an investigative journalist and allowing me the time and resources to do the sort of reporting that is all but impossible today in new super-slimmed down newsrooms. Before he left though, Jaspan made sure the best candidate took over his editorship: Richard Walker, who was by then deputy editor of the paper. “I felt that Richard uniquely understood the ethos of the paper – he was best placed to look after it and cherish it,” Jaspan says. . http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16682912.sunday-heralds-triumph-over-ryan-giggs-super-injunction/
