"Ellis will continue the work started by Alan Scott and David Thomson who have been joint managing Directors of the newspaper business. David Thomson is now chief operating officer for DC Thomson and group companies."
On Friday, it was announced Alan Scott was stepping down as managing director of DC Thomson's Aberdeen Journal's division, after 27 years with the company.
