Lenore Taylor named as third local Guardian editor as Wilson returns to UK

Lenore Taylor is Guardian Australia’s third editor

The Guardian Australia has appointed its third editor in just over three years following the return of Emily Wilson to London.

Political editor Lenore Taylor will take the helm after Wilson was asked to return to the British newspaper’s head office as assistant editor.

Taylor, the first Australian to hold the role, has worked for the title since its local launch in May 2013.
