Benjamin is responsible for policy development and political affairs at 21st Century Fox, one of the world’s largest media corporations. His current role focuses on the biggest public policy challenges – media regulation, freedom of speech and intellectual property – for the company’s film studio, television channels and production businesses across Europe. Happily this makes watching TV a professional necessity.
He has over a decade’s experience at the legislative intersection of content, technology, and the media, having been previously at News International – where he worked to shape the company’s response both to the debate on the future of press regulation and the Leveson Inquiry – and before that, at UK trade body the Publishers Association, where he led policy and advocacy for the association’s broad constituency.
Benjamin has a degree in Classics from Pembroke College, Cambridge.
