Piers Morgan joins Mail Online as US editor
This article speaks about how Piers Morgan has joined mail online as its editor. They said he would bring his experience and his own perspective. He Piers Morgan also heaped praise on the mail by saying news shouldn't be boring and the mail certainly isn't. They also said Piers knows how to cause debates and conversations. The article then goes on to speak about how his TV talk show on CNN and how it got axed, he also on that show said some controversial things. Piers has done editing before and was the youngest ever editor at one stage when working for news of the world.
Stats
Morgan admitted that ratings for his show had “taken a bath”, falling below 300,000 from an early high of 2 million.
He became the youngest ever British national newspaper editor in 1994, aged 29, when Rupert Murdoch put him charge of the News of the World.
In my opinion I believe it is clever that mail online have hired Piers Morgan. This is because he is a controversial character and therefore people would want to see what he is writing about, as a result of this this may boost the views of mail online due to Piers being the new editor. In the article it states that Piers has 4 million plus followers which shows he is also very famous and from me following him I know that he likes confrontation. Also he likes himself a lot as he is only retweeting the good tweets about himself. Ultimately I believe it is clever as Piers is experienced and will cause controversy which is something the mail online may need.
