William Rees-Mogg was impressed with Douglas-Home's approach and made him foreign editor in 1978. He was a candidate for the editorship when Rupert Murdoch took over the paper in 1981, but Harold Evans was appointed instead. However a year later Murdoch and Evans had a spectacular falling-out over issues of editorial independence, and Douglas-Home was finally appointed. He edited The Times between 1982 and 1985.
