Kennedy was editor of Press Gazette for four years until 2002 and was awarded the OBE for services to journalism in 2003.

Kennedy his heading out to Dubai today for a hand-over period but will be returning in October to help organise the London Press Ball.

Kennedy’s husband John (also on OBE) has been based in Dubai since March.

“There are a lot of opportunities for journalists out there, it’s a hugely expanding market.”
