Martina Lees
Martina Lees is an award-winning journalist with a special focus on social inequality and systemic injustice in the UK. With over a decade of experience as a digital section editor for top newspapers like The Sunday Times and The Telegraph, Martina is an expert in creating definitive editions and managing teams. She has also been a property writer for four years and has been nominated twice as property columnist of the year.
Martina's investigations have taken her all over the world, with notable stories covering state corruption in South Africa, the effects of high-potency skunk cannabis on NHS mental health wards, and interviews with victims of Al-Qaeda. Her knack for turning complex forces into comprehensible narratives is perhaps what makes her such an exceptional journalist.
Her dedication to journalism goes back to her early days as a crime reporter in post-apartheid Johannesburg. For Martina, it is a calling to investigate the forces that shape our lives, institutions, and views.
