Matt Kelly, the current editor-in-chief, will continue to organize the work of the anti-Brexit weekly newspaper. "I am very excited to lead a new chapter in the remarkable life of New Europe," said Kelly. He added that since the Brexit referendum, the publication had shown that there was considerable market interest in high-quality, provocative and entertaining journalism written for readers who were deeply concerned about the future of Britain and Europe. Kelly confirmed that new and experienced investors will undoubtedly contribute to the development of The New European.
