Spear’s Review

One of the most highly respected and established women in journalism, Sarah Sands was deputy editor of The Daily Telegraph and then editor of The Sunday Telegraph between 1996 and 2006 before moving to the Daily Mail. She is now a partner at reputation managers Hawthorn Advisors.

She was editor of the London newspaper the Evening Standard, then editor of the flagship Radio 4 morning news programme Today for three years from 2017.There are very few figures with a greater grasp of how the British media operates, or a more widespread network of connections at all levels of the news industry.

Sands is a board member of Channel 4, a former trustee of Index on Censorship and a visiting fellow of the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism.
