Trinity Term 2010

Dear All,

Trinity is upon us and we're pleased to present an exciting list of speaker events for the term ahead.

We have something that will suit everyone - from the investigative journalists amongst us to the fashion-obsessed glossy-magazine loving.

Nicholas Coleridge, Managing Director of Conde Nast
SPONSORED BY WPP
23rd May, 8.15PM
Coleridge has been UK Managing Director and Global Vice-President of Conde Nast (the world-famous publishers of Vogue, GQ, Tatler, Glamour, Vanity Fair and many other titles) for 19 years. Having appointed most of the current crop of editors and also written many best-selling novels, it is perhaps unsurprising that Coleridge is one of the best-connected people in British media.

Louise Court, Editor of Cosmopolitan
10th June, 7PM
Louise Court is a definition of a fun, fearless female. A big personality and a brilliant leader of Cosmo since 2006, she has climbed her way up since she started off as trainee. She became a showbiz writer at Express Newspapers before joining Woman's Own as an assistant editor in 1990. In 1994, she joined Best, becoming editor four years later. In 2005 Ms Court was appointed editorial director of ACP-mag.

William Lewis, former Editor-in-Chief of Telegraph Media Group and Journalist of the Year 2010 (in association with the Oxford Union)
15 June, Oxford Union
Lewis is doubtlessly the most celebrated journalist of the year 2010: not only he scooped the prestigious award from Press Association, but also The Daily Telegraph was awarded the Newspaper of the Year along a string of awards for the coverage of MPs expenses investigation. As the editor-in-chief of the paper at the time, he oversaw the coverage of the story. Lewis also supported Daily Telegraph's controversial shift to skepticism towards climate change and was the first editor to integrate online and print editorial teams into one.

Geordie Greig, Editor of the London Evening Standard and Editorial Director of The Independent
Date TBC
A former Editor of Tatler, Greig was instrumental in the sale of the Evening Standard to the Lebedevs last year. In his first year in charge of the paper, he has radically distanced it from its Daily Mail history, running an advertising campaign apologising for past errors, and has taken the publication free. As part of the Lebedevs recent purchase of The Independent, Greig has also been appointed Editorial Director of those titles. He has been called 'the world's greatest networker'.

Paul Lewis, Reporter of the Year 2010, The Guardian
Date TBC
Lewis is one of The Guardian's most admired reporters. He won plaudits for his tenacious uncovering of the police's treatment of protesters at the G20 summit in London last year.

More information about locations and how to apply to dine with the speakers will follow shortly.

We will also be posting separate entries with more information about each speaker before the events.

Looking forward to seeing you at an event soon!

Marta and Tom
