On the same day Daily Telegraph editor Will Lewis announced a list of personnel changes, including new digital and political reporting teams, education editor Liz Lightfoot and royal correspondent Caroline Davies left the paper.

The newspaper will not comment on why the two quit, but it is understood they left Tuesday without giving notice.

“More people will follow Liz and Caroline out of the door,” sources at the Telegraph are quoted as saying by Media Guardian. Two of those that may follow are reporters David Sapsted, who manned the regional offices in East Anglia, and Stewart Payne, head of the Thames Valley office. They were told in March their operations were being shut down, and have been offered jobs at the newspaper's headquarters in Victoria, central London. Both have filed grievances against the paper.

Although Payne is thought to have already resigned, with his last day being Sept. 14, a spokeswoman at the Telegraph would not comment on resignations and said Sapsted and Payne “would be staying,” according to a Media Guardian article.

The reshuffling of positions due to the creation of new reporting teams affect at least 17 people.
