Editors Guild unveils new leadership for 2025–26, Sanjay Kapoor takes the lead
MUMBAI: The Editors Guild of India has crowned a fresh leadership unchallenged and uncontested, handing Sanjay Kapoor the presidency in a coronation that bypassed the usual electoral theatre. Raghavan Srinivasan steps into the general secretary’s shoes, while Teresa Rehman takes the treasurer’s post. All three were waved through without opposition.
The guild’s election committee, steered by convener Rajdeep Sardesai and member Vijay Naik, rubber-stamped the panel at the annual general body meeting-clearing the decks for what promises to be a turbulent stretch ahead. With a restless news cycle already in full swing and India’s media institutions facing mounting pressures, the new team inherits a mandate to navigate treacherous waters.
No rival factions spoiling for a fight, no last-minute drama. Just three editors stepping up to bat for an industry bracing for impact.
