Former News Corp editor Luke McIlveen, who went on to be the founding editor of Daily Mail Australia, has been appointed executive editor of Nine newspapers. McIlveen in the same statement said he was “thrilled and honoured” to be leading “Australian journalism at its very best”. He held senior roles at the Daily Telegraph and edited the Manly Daily before becoming editor-in-chief of news.com.au. McIlveen then left News to become the founding editor of Daily Mail Australia and was later executive editor at Fox Sports. The Daily Mail was criticised for using competitors’ content when McIlveen was in charge with News Corp Australia in 2014 labelling the publication’s journalists “copy snatchers and parasites”.
