Celia Duncan becomes the Mail’s first-ever global women’s editor, saying it’s “a huge honour”
Speaking about her new role, Duncan said the Mail has a “vibrant, loyal and highly engaged female readership”.
Ted Verity, editor-in-chief of the Daily Mail, said: “For decades, brilliant women’s journalism has been the beating heart of the Mail. But Celia has taken this to a whole new level, not only producing thousands of sparkling daily features but also three unmissable weekly magazine sections in Femail, Inspire and Secrets & Lives – all of which drive huge numbers of online subscriptions for Mail+.”
Duncan also helped with the successful launches of Mail+ in America and Australia.
Her appointment comes as the Mail announces that it has gone past a quarter of a million digital subscribers.
More than 92,000 readers subscribe to Mail+ Editions – the digital replica of the printed paper that readers can read on their tablets and smartphones, while more than 163,000 have so far signed up to Mail+.
