Chris Evans is a British journalist who is the editor of The Daily Telegraph.[1] He serves as Director of Content at The Daily Telegraph[2] and previously served as the Executive Head of News at The Daily Telegraph.[3]

Early life

Evans was born and raised[4] in Walsall, England. He attended King Edward's School in Birmingham before moving to study at the University of Oxford.[5][2]

Career

After leaving Oxford University after one year and not graduating, Evans got his first job as a journalist at a news agency - the South West News Service in Bristol.

After 11 years reporting for The Daily Mail, Evans joined The Telegraph as a news editor in January 2007. He 'kept a low profile' while managing to rise to high office. He is said to have a 'solid news background' with populist news instincts. Evans was recruited by The Daily Telegraph's then editor, William Lewis, on strong advice from his deputy, Tony Gallagher.[4]

In 2017, Evans expressed his view that fake news is "great" for the news industry, in the sense that it fostered more trust in traditional news brands by contrast, thus "increasing [their] value."[6]
