New face on regionals' parliamentary beat

Caroline Wheeler has been appointed the Northcliffe parliamentary correspondent.

She takes up her duties from Monday September 6, and will serve the daily titles in Humberside and Lincolnshire, as well as the South Wales Evening Post, succeeding Zoe Hughes who is to become political editor of The Journal, Newcastle.

Caroline, a politics graduate with a postgraduate journalism diploma from Cardiff, has spent four years with the Post & Mail group in Birmingham, most recently for the Sunday Mercury, where she is a news reporter and education correspondent.
