Philip Jones has been promoted to editor of the Bookseller, the U.K. book trade magazine. Jones has been deputy editor of the magazine and editor of Futurebook, the Bookseller Group's digital blog.
Jones succeeds Neill Denny, who has been editor-in-chief since 2004 and will begin a column for the Bookseller on retail trends and continue to interview authors in his areas of interest, particularly history and economics.
Nigel Roby, managing director and owner of the Bookseller Group, commented: "What the Bookseller covers has changed dramatically. A few years ago it was a straightforward mix of news and features on companies and business models that had barely changed for 30 years. Now we report on companies that didn't even exist then and we do so through print, web and new media. Philip has been at the heart of how we have changed our own business, while also being a recognised authority on the revolution in the book trade."
