About Lewis Goodall
Lewis Goodall is the Analysis and Investigations Editor at Global and a lead presenter of the highly acclaimed podcast, The News Agents. A prolific broadcaster and writer, he previously served as the Policy Editor for BBC Newsnight and a Political Correspondent for Sky News.

Throughout his career, Lewis has been at the forefront of major news stories, including the conflict in Ukraine, the Grenfell Tower legacy, and the national exams crisis, for which he received an Orwell Prize nomination.
