However, it now trying to adopt a new image, presenting itself as more civilised and sophisticated. This has been prompted particularly by growing competition from BBC World, the sound and vision version of the BBC World Service. CNN's new approach has included recruiting Chris Cramer, previously head of news-gathering at the BBC. He is now vice-president and managing director of CNNI, the international operation.

Andrew Neil is now firmly in the anti-Brussels camp. Any 'European' magazine edited by him would be better named 'The Sceptic.'(Media +)(Column)
Article Abstract:
Andrew Neil, editor-in-chief of The European, is keen to convert the publication, which currently combines elements of a newspaper and a magazine, into a weekly magazine along the lines of The Economist, but more glamorous. This approach is strongly opposed by the editor of The European, Charles Garside. It is becoming clear that Neil has strongly anti-European views, and these would inevitably come across in a new format publication. Indeed, Euroscepticism has become common among almost all newspaper editors in the UK.
