The chief executive of the publisher of the
Guardian will step down after a power struggle with its editor over control of the title's future.
Annette Thomas will leave the Guardian Media Group (GMG) at the end of the month amid simmering tensions over finances and strategy with Katharine Viner, the editor-in-chief.
Ms Thomas joined the company in March 2020.
The Telegraph revealed last month that Ms Viner and Ms Thomas had clashed over “who calls the shots” and last week reported on plans for a boardroom shake-up at the title’s owner.
