In his new role, Higgerson will support editorial director for regionals Neil Benson and deputy editorial director Alan Edmunds in leading all aspects of editorial development across Trinity Mirror’s regional news brands.
Benson said: “In recent years, David has played an increasingly influential role in our newsroom development, including the successful introduction of Newsroom 3.1 this year.
“Under the new Trinity Mirror editorial structure, we will work hand-in-glove with the regional editors-in-chief to develop and implement editorial strategies for the digital age.”
