Richard Sambrook
Richard Sambrook (born 24 April 1956) is the Director of BBC News.
Sambrook was educated at Oakwood Grammar School in Maidstone, at Reading University and at Birkbeck College, London. His first jobs were as a journalist for various local newspapers in south Wales. In 1980 he joined the BBC as a sub-editor. He has stayed with the organisation ever since and steadily risen through the newsroom ranks. He became Director of News in 2001.
Sambrook's name became well-known to the general public when on July 20, 2003, Sambrook announced that Dr. David Kelly had been the BBC's source for its story that the British Government had knowingly exaggerated claims over Iraq's weapons of mass destruction in the September Dossier.
