Lloyd Turner (2 October 1938 – 12 September 1996) was a newspaper editor in the United Kingdom.
He subsequently relocated to London to work on the Daily Express, where he became father of the chapel of the newspaper's National Union of Journalists.
He increased its sales, at the expense of the Daily Mirror, but was sacked in 1987 after being convicted of libelling Jeffrey Archer,[2] by claiming that he had had sex with prostitute Monica Coghlan.
[1] He was brought back in November 1988 as editor of the short-lived newspaper The Post[3] until the paper closed five weeks later.
Returning to farming, Turner came back one more time to the national newspaper Today, serving as an assistant editor until the paper closed down in 1995.
