The Guardian has just released the news of their latest hire:
“We are pleased to share the news that we have appointed Amber de Botton as our new chief communications officer.
A journalist for almost two decades, Amber was deputy head of politics at Sky News before moving to ITV News, where she was head of politics and then head of UK news.
