Dan Sabbagh

Daniel "Dan" Sabbagh (born 1971) is a British journalist who is the defence and security editor of The Guardian (appointed in January 2018), having previously been national news editor.

Sabbagh worked as senior reporter on the magazine Computing and as a city reporter at The Daily Telegraph before joining The Times where he was telecoms correspondent and then media editor between 2004 and 2009, when he resigned.

In April 2005, along with his then editor Robert Thomson, he was served with a criminal libel summons from a French court by the Barclay Brothers over an article published in The Times in November 2004. That action was eventually dropped, and The Times published a statement in February 2007.

Sabbagh was co-founder of the media news and entertainment website Beehive City, along with two former Times colleagues Adam Sherwin and Timothy Glanfield, and was a contributor prior to joining The Guardian.

He joined The Guardian in November 2010. In 2010, he was media advisor to Oona King on her unsuccessful attempt to become the London Labour Mayoral candidate.
