Will Lewis 'in talks' for Wapping role

It comes as no surprise to read that Will Lewis , the former Daily Telegraph editor, is engaged in talks with News International at Wapping. The Financial Times reports that Lewis "is discussing a number of possible roles at the group". His digital experience and enthusiasm are likely to see him take a senior position in News Int's digital division. It was significant that one of Lewis's former colleagues at Telegraph Media Group , its chief information officer, Paul Cheesbrough , was hired last month to be News Int's CIO. Cheesbrough and Lewis worked closely together at TMG's Euston Project, a division specifically created with the aim of sourcing a sustainable revenue stream from the group's digital operations. Lewis departed from TMG in May after differences of opinion over strategy with the company's chief executive, Murdoch MacLennan . Lewis has previously worked at Wapping, having been city editor of the Sunday Times . Before that he worked for the FT.
