SCMP loses its chief-editor

Mark Clifford, chief editor of the South China Morning Post, will leave his post after only one year on the job, reports Rebecca MacKinnon. He leaves the SCMP before the major changes he has helped to prepare, have taken place. One of the key changes was merging the print and online operation of the now still unlinkable SCMP. His year at the Post has been marked by many incidents.
Clifford will become the executive director of the Asian Business Council.
