Gill Smith joins the board of trustees
Gill was named Editor of The Scottish Sun on International Women’s Day in 2021. She is the first female Editor of The Scottish Sun.
An award-winning journalist, Gill has worked in media for over 30 years and at The Scottish Sun for the last 17 where she is responsible for content across seven days and across all platforms. The title was this year named Newsbrand of the Year at the Scottish Press Awards.
She became Chair of the Journalists’ Charity in Scotland in 2023 and has helped raise tens of thousands of pounds for the charity through the hugely successful annual lunch events.
Gill said: “It’s an honour to join the board of charity that has flawlessly represented journalists for over 160 years. I look forward to helping raise awareness of the charity’s vital work in helping journalists across the country at a time when the industry is facing some of its biggest challenges. It’s imperative we provide support to journalists, whether it’s those who are just starting out or those who’ve fallen on hard times, to allow our industry to evolve and prosper.”
