William Lewis (journalist)

William Lewis (born 1969) is a British journalist and editor-in-chief of the Telegraph Media Group, which publishes the "Daily Telegraph", "Sunday Telegraph" and telegraph.co.uk in London.

He was appointed editor of the "Daily Telegraph" on 9 October, 2006, becoming the youngest ever editor of the paper. He was previously deputy editor and City editor of the paper. He was made editor-in-chief of the combined titles after working to integrate the publishing process across the group.

He attended a comprehensive school in London before studying Politics and Economics at the University of Bristol, where he wrote for the student newspaper, Epigram. He completed a postgraduate diploma in Newspaper Journalism at City University. After graduation, he joined the Mail on Sunday as a business reporter.

Before joining the "Telegraph" in 2005, Lewis was business editor of the "The Sunday Times" for three years. Before that, he worked at the Financial Times for 8 years. He left his job as news editor of the FT in November 2002 because of editorial and strategic discrepancies with Andrew Gowers, the then editor. Personal issues between Lewis and Gowers also played a role. Gowers was ousted by Pearson [owner of the Financial Times] chief executive, Marjorie Scardino, three years after Will Lewis left.
