The Hindu has announced that Mukund Padmanabhan who was editor of Business Line will be the next editor of the paper. Raghavan Srinivasan, Senior Associate Editor of Business Line, has been named as editor of Business Line. The paper says that both appointments were made on the basis of the recommendation of the Nomination & Remuneration Committee of the KSL Board. The Board seems to have settled for non family editors for the second time after a short stint in 2012-13 by Siddharth Varadarajan.
