Convey Out at 'Daily News'—Ex-'News of the World' Editor to Replace Him

Colin Myler is also vet of 'N.Y. Post'

New York Daily News editor in chief Kevin Convey is getting the boot, according to a staff memo from the tabloid’s owner, Mort Zuckerman, which was published this afternoon by Capital New York. Effective Jan. 10, Convey will be replaced by Colin Myler, who edited Rupert Murdoch’s News of the World from 2007 until the paper was forced to shut down last July amid allegations of phone hacking.

In the memo, Zuckerman thanked Convey for his editorial input at the Daily News, which he said “will only get better under the leadership of Colin.”
