Chloe Hubbard, currently UK Editor at The Independent, has been appointed as the next Editor-in-Chief at national newspaper The Mirror, following Caroline Waterston’s departure at the end of the year. As part of her remit, she will also lead the group-wide magazines teams. 

Chloe has previously served as a News Editor at both BBC Sport and MailOnline, as well as Assistant Editor Online at The Telegraph, and Editor-in-Chief for Stuff.co.nz in Auckland. Following her move to the Independent in 2020, Chloe was ultimately promoted to UK Editor, responsible for managing all domestic editorial operations. 

Chloe said: “There's so much potential to grow audience online for both the Mirror and magazines, as well as continuing to curate these beloved British institutions in print for readers across the country. I’m really looking forward to getting stuck in with the teams and building on the exceptional work already happening across the newsrooms.”

Chloe will report into Tom Hunt, Editorial Director (Brands), at Reach plc, who said: "We're delighted to welcome Chloe Hubbard to lead The Mirror and magazines teams. She has a stellar track record in the industry, has driven consistent growth during her years at The Independent."

Chloe’s start date will be announced in the coming days.
