“Don’t worry too much about having a plan.” This was the advice given by Matt Brindley, Managing Editor of ITV News, to anyone considering working in news media.

For more than 20 years, he has forged a career in TV news as a programme editor, news editor and field producer, much of the time at ITN. He edited ITV’s Invitation to a Royal Wedding in 2018, and the previous year was editor of the ITV London team that won an RTS award for its Grenfell fire coverage.
