Brendon Parsons

Brendon Parsons is a former British newspaper editor.

Parsons was chief sub-editor on Today during the late 1980s, where he coped with a general shortage of trained subs in the industry.

At the start of 1997, Parsons was editor of The People, when he moved to become editor of the Sunday Mirror. He subsequently became deputy editor of the Daily Mirror, in which role he introduced the Mandy Capp cartoon, derived from its existing Andy Capp strip.

In December 1997, Parsons was due to move posts again, being re-appointed as editor of The People. However, he was soon granted compassionate leave, and six months later his Sunday Mirror role was given to former editor Colin Myler. In 2000, Parsons stepped in to run Worldsport.com during its final months, while Alan Callan was unwell.
