Jo Sandilands: a tribute
It’s with great sadness that we write this tribute to Jo Sandilands, who died on the 4th of January 2023.
Many of you won’t know Jo’s name, but in a stellar career she was, among other things, a high-profile magazine editor (Observer Magazine; Woman), as well as being programme director of Capital Radio and editor of BBC One’s Kilroy.
Jo co-founded our company, Eye to Eye Media, and believed passionately in quality journalism – and, especially, the delicious. brand. Her eye for detail was acute (she could spot a typo at a hundred paces), as was her sixth sense in connecting with her audience, be it print, online, TV or radio. She had a vibrant sense of humour too – and boy did she love a party.
Jo imparted so much wisdom to the whole Eye to Eye Media team, and she will be missed by us all.
