The head of the UK’s Society for Editors has been forced to resign after pressure from 160 journalists from the UK’s most left-wing media outlets because he defended the press and said it was “not acceptable” for the Sussexes to claim the media was racist “without supporting evidence”.
Ian Murray, the chief executive of the leading British press industry body, had released a statement on behalf of the Society for Editors on Monday following Meghan and Harry’s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, saying: “The UK media is not bigoted and will not be swayed from its vital role holding the rich and powerful to account following the attack on the press by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”
