Summary
Dan Sabbagh (born 1971) is a British journalist, who writes about the media industry and is currently media editor of The Guardian.
He founded and co-owns the media news website Beehive City. He was media editor at The Times, for five years, between 2004 and 2009; before that he was the paper's telecoms correspondent. He previously worked as a city reporter at The Daily Telegraph and as senior reporter on the magazine Computing.
