Tristan Davies

Tristan Davies is a British newspaper executive and former newspaper editor.

Davies was educated at Douai School in Woolhampton. He studied at the University of Bristol, then trained in radio journalism, but took employment for a London newspaper. He joined The Independent in 1986, soon after its launch. He initially worked on the listings section, then took various posts in arts and features. He left in the mid-1990s, to spend two years working on The Mail on Sundays Night & Day magazine. The Guardian suggested that he had resigned as he was unhappy with budget cuts imposed on the newspaper.
