In 2014, Gray was appointed as the deputy editor of The Spectator.

Gray is the founding editor of the Spectator's world edition and later spear-headed the introduction of its print edition.

Gray was a prominent ally of fellow journalist Toby Young during the controversy leading up to Young's resignation from his post at the Office for Students.[9]
