September 11, 2017 19:09

Journalist and Hindustan Times editor-in-chief Bobby Ghosh has resigned, HT Media Chairperson Shobhana Bhartia said on Monday.

"I am deeply disappointed to share the news that Bobby Ghosh will be returning to New York, for personal reasons," Bhartia said in a statement.

Ghosh took over as editor of the Hindustan Times in 2016 after the departure of Sanjoy Narayan, who had run the newspaper since 2008.

Here is a full statement from HT:-

Dear All,

I am deeply disappointed to share the news that Bobby Ghosh will be returning to New York, for personal reasons.

Bobby has only been with HT Digital Streams Ltd. for 14 months, but in that time he has engineered a dramatic transformation of our various news products. This is reflected not only in our traffic numbers, but in the sheer ambition of our journalism. Under his leadership, HT Newsroom has pursued bold ideas and has addressed some of the most pressing issues of our time. We have come to be recognized as the place for journalistic innovation and enterprise.

We will miss him, but I am confident that the newsroom leadership team he has nurtured will more than live up to the challenge.

At my request, Bobby has agreed to stay on for a while, to help in the transition and complete some projects he has already launched.

There will be time for proper farewells. For now, please join me in wishing Bobby the best in his next adventures.

Shobhana Bhartia
