Bland was previously the deputy editor of The Independent, a national British newspaper, a post to which he was appointed in April 2012, at the age of 28.[4] He was also the editor of the Saturday edition of The Independent. He was one of the youngest people to have ever been appointed to a senior editorial post in the British national newspaper industry, described as "easily the youngest deputy editor in the paper's history, the youngest in national newspapers today and perhaps ever on Fleet Street".[4]
