Top stories in the latest issue:

TORTOISE HELL
While the Guardian's handover of the Observer becomes ever more leaky, it looks like editor-in-chief Kath Viner may be on the move.

CRILLY SEASON
Hack Rob Crilly has a history of being too hot to handle, falling out with the Indy, Telegraph and now the Mail. But has the Telegraph learnt its lesson?

YUPPIE FLEW
The iconic Alex cartoon strip, a mainstay of Telegraph reading for the past 33 years, is to be axed. Why? Not enough clicks online, apparently.

POOR FORM
Michael Gove is enjoying his position at the Spectator as defender of the poor and needy. Shame he kept so quiet when he was education secretary.

STAR DRECK
Boots all round as the Daily Star ousts its second editor in only three months. Much like its sister, the Mirror, it is shifting its focus from paper to clickbait.

PAPER BOYS
Both the Sunday Times and the Mail reported worries that young women now earn more than men – which is a far cry from those papers' offices.

UNION BLUES
UK journalists working for Rupert Murdoch's Dow Jones outpost are the latest Murdoch staff to have the chance of trade union representation snatched away.

LADY KILLER
While the owner of The Lady can sit on his vast profit from the sale of its HQ, contributors look unlikely to see a penny in return for unpaid invoices.
