DNA editor CP Surendran told an edit meeting on April 1 that he had been asked to quit. It is believed that he was asked to quit as part of a general change of guard at DNA. The new CEO is Uday Nirgurkar, formerly editor-cum-business head of the Marathi news channel, Zee 24Taas; Bhaskar Das, the news group CEO, has been divested of DNA which was his sole activity, so he is unlikely to be kept around much longer. Other issues figure in reasons emanating for the changes, but we have no confirmation on those. Stability has not been part of the DNA's editorial DNA. In eight years of the paper's life, CP Surendran is the fifth editor to quit.
