Anna Isaac has been appointed city editor at The Guardian, a newly created role as part of a revamp of the title’s business coverage under head of business John Collingridge.
Isaac, currently economics editor at The Independent, will have a remit covering “the changing face of Britain’s financial centre, corporate investigations and the flow of money and power between business and politics”.
The business desk will begin to focus more on investigations, long reads, exclusives and analysis and the revamp has also led to the promotion of assistant business editor Angela Monaghan to live business news editor.
Isaac, who has also worked at Politico, the Wall Street Journal and the Daily Telegraph, said: “The UK is a financial and professional services superpower, and this is a critical time to document how financial levers dictate events, from Westminster politics to international sanctions. The Guardian’s unique ownership structure and gifted colleagues will offer a chance to follow the money without fear or favour.”
