Dan Sabbagh (born 1971) is a British journalist, who writes about the media industry. He currently works at The Guardian, as head of media and technology. He is 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 was also 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.
In April 2005, along with his 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 dropped after The Times published a statement in February 2007.
He was also elected as a Labour councillor for Vassall ward in the London Borough of Lambeth, serving between August 1999 and May 2006. In 2010, he was media advisor to Oona King on her bid to become the London Labour Mayoral candidate.
