Ex-Sun editor David Dinsmore to take up government communications role | Keir Starmer

A former editor of Sun will play a senior communication role in the heart of the government.

From 2013 to 2015, David Dinsmore, the editor of Tableid, will be a public service appointment rather than a political advisor to improve the communication operation of the government. The role is separate from 10 Communication Manager.

Telegraph said that Keir Starmer interviewed the last short list and was said to be affected by Dinsmore’s understanding of modern communication difficulties.

The role is a new position called the Permanent Communication Secretary after the Prime Minister’s concerns about government communication at the end of last year.

Dinsmore started his journalist career as a reporter for Scottish Sun in 1990 and rose in 2006 to become an editor. He took part in a series of high -level roles, including the administrative editor in Sun and helped control the launch of market pressure.

Dinsmore is currently working at the News UK, which has been a chief business officer for the last ten years, and releasing The Times and Sunday Times.

In 2014, when he was the editor of Sun, Dinsmore was elected as a “sexist of the year öz after a survey conducted by a feminist campaign coalition called Son Violence Against Women. The Sun was still publishing photos of topless women on the third page of the newspaper at the time – in 2015.

Dinsmore is not the first senior painting journalist to switch to a communication role in Downing Street.

Andy Coulson, former editor of Now Functy World of the World, worked in the opposition at David Cameron before he resigned as a communication director via the telephone holding scandal in 2011 and then at Downing Street.

Alastair Campbell was the political editor of Daily Mirror before he became Tony Blair’s most senior communication consultant.

In March, Matthew Doyle, Starmer’s Communication Director, resigned for his role nine months later.
