Jeremy O'Grady

Co-founder

The Week has been a runaway publishing success in the intelligent information market during the last 10 years - a period when quality newspapers have claimed to have faced unprecedented troubles. The secret of Jeremy’s success at The Week has been to recognise that in the face of information overload, the most valuable work is to be done through sifting, selecting and, most importantly, framing the issues of the day. The Week has grown every year since inception and now has a total world-wide subscription base of 665,000.
