About

Saba Salman… good quality reporting and a passion for crusading journalism.
Brian MacArthur
Former Times associate editor and Telegraph assistant editor

I trained on London local papers after a postgraduate journalism course where I won an award for my writing and interviewing. After news editing a series of central London weeklies, I was a freelance reporter for the Times, the Express and the Evening Standard. My investigative reports on London’s biggest asylum hostel won me the runner-up prize in the Commission for Racial Equality's annual media awards.

I was a staff reporter on the Evening Standard, then its Local Government and Social Affairs Correspondent, moving into freelance features by writing for Marie Claire, She and Cosmopolitan. I was the deputy editor of trade mag Housing Today and have written for specialist titles like Local Government Chronicle and Building.

I write for Society Guardian and am a commissioning editor for the Guardian’s public sector supplements. I commissioned a themed edition of Society Guardian which won an award for its coverage of youth issues.

As well as writing for the Guardian’s online professional networks for the public sector, I run The Social Issue blog and manage a blog for the Voluntary Organisations Disability Group.
