Former Smash Hits editor axed from The Sun

Former Smash Hits editor Emma Jones has become the first victim of new Sun editor Rebekah Wade who took over from David Yelland this week. Jones was hired by Yelland to write a column to appeal to younger readers – but she came under criticism almost from the word go for not knowing much about anything. That said, her axing may be more because Jones’ column replaced that of journalist Jane Moore, a close friend of Wade.
