Former Sky News and CNN journalist Sam Kiley has joined The Independent as world affairs editor.
Kiley was foreign affairs editor for Sky News from 2014 to 2018 and a senior international correspondent for CNN from 2018 to 2023.
Independent editor-in-chief Georgie Greig said: “The Independent has a long, distinguished history of award-winning foreign journalism, and I’m proud to be able to continue that by appointing Sam.”
Kiley said: “The Independent is growing fast and adapting quickly. I’m fizzing with enthusiasm to be joining an organisation that is defining the future of the media industry.
“Geordie’s vision for a news organisation that makes the best use of the written word, of audio, and of video for storytelling is spot on. I still love the founding slogan, and challenge, of the paper: ‘The Independent. It is. Are you?’”
