Polly Curtis
Polly Curtis joined the Board on 9 May 2022. She is a journalist, author, and media executive, and is currently the Chief Executive of Demos. She has worked as a reporter, news editor, and then digital editor at the Guardian before leading HuffPost UK as Editor-In-Chief. Her interest has always been in how the state's powers impact ordinary people and building media models that reach those who are often left out of the news conversation and therefore disenfranchised. She served on the Cairncross Review for the future sustainability of high-quality news, has been a visiting fellow at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism and was most recently Managing Director of PA Media, the UK's national news agency.
