HONG KONG: NEW EDITOR OF SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST: DAVID
ARMSTRONG
1.
News International, owners of the South China Morning Post
have appointed a new editor, David Armstrong (former editor of
the Canberra Times and The Australian Canberra tipped us off last month that Mr Armstrong was planning to visit London en route to taking up his new job in early April (fax attached). Mr Armstrong has now arrived in London, somewhat disappointed that News International appear to have done little to arrange his UK briefing programme.
The
2. I understand that Sir John Coles who knows Mr Armstrong will be speaking to him next week. I plan to arrange for him to call on me and/or Mr Ricketts and imagine that Mr Cornish would also wish to meet him. I should be grateful to know whether the Minister could find time to see Mr Armstrong. editor of the SCMP tends to be the only professional Western-style journalist among a pack of cub reporters. departing editor Philip Saville has been helpful and we believe it would be worth cultivating his successor.
