Top stories in the latest issue:

MULLEN IT OVER
Reach plc boss Jim Mullen told staff it was his editors who made decisions over who to cut – which must have surprised editors both past and present.

BAD COP, GOOD COP
The Daily Mail called the COP29 conference a "shameless junket". Funny, then, that its parent company provided services for lavish hospitality in Baku.

A WEAKLY PAPER
Announcing Dylan Jones's departure as Evening Standard editor, its executive chairman wrote that Jones "has had a huge effect on our business." And how!

OLD STATESMAN
Also on the way out is Jason Cowley, editor of the New Statesman for 16 years. Publisher New Statesman Ltd is losing more than £3m a year.

CARTER-FUCK ALL
Solicitors to the stars Carter-Fuck recently sent a legal warning to newspapers to make it clear they were NOT threatening to sue someone.

GRIPE VINER
Arguments at the Guardian are becoming increasingly bitter over the mooted unloading of the Observer to loss-making start-up Tortoise.

NO PRINT-CIPLES
Allison Pearson was bullish after Essex Police dropped its investigation into a tweet by her – but not all her Telegraph colleagues shared in the triumphalism.

PLAYING THE FIELDS
The Express and Telegraph were unimpressed by Labour's inheritance tax plans for farmers. But last year both papers seemed to take a very different view.

FAKE SHEIKH SHUSH
The Sun has focused on pop star Tulisa during I'm a Celebrity but didn't cover the moment when she told campmates how a newspaper sting ruined her life.
