[Exaro going editor-free?](http://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/jun/02/exaro-mark-watts-redundant-investigative-news?ref=onemanandhisblog.com)

*Exaro* editor-in-chief Mark Watts, as quoted by *The Guardian*‘s Jasper Jackson:

> It is true that *Exaro* is facing around a halving of its editorial budget, but how this will be carried out is not yet finalised. One element of the plan is to make the position of editor-in-chief redundant. The plan is for Exaro to have no editor.

Baffling, if true. An investigative site *needs* a central figure to vet and check everything – otherwise the lawyers are going to be very busy indeed, even with a team of two or three.
