By: Josh Halliday | The Guardian

Emma Tucker, the new deputy editor of the Times, has hailed the "phenomenal" rise of women to senior editorial positions in UK national newspapers.

Tucker, the former editorial director of the News UK title, was promoted to deputy editor last week as part of a wider restructure at the Times and Sunday Times.

At the Sunday Times, the columnist Eleanor Mills was made editorial director and Sarah Baxter, the Sunday Times Magazine editor, was appointed deputy editor.
