LSE Alumni Shaping the World

Journalists, broadcasters and storytellers

Over the decades since LSE’s founding, journalists, broadcasters, editors, directors, producers, authors and storytellers from LSE’s alumni community have told important stories and provided a voice for people who don’t have one. Their work has highlighted the plight of people affected by war, persecution, human rights abuses and criminality, and has shone a spotlight on global issues such as migration, climate change, poverty and discrimination.

Here are a few LSE alumni who have made or are making a difference through journalism, broadcasting and storytelling:

• Nima Elgabir
• Martin Lewis
• Hilary Mantel
• Allan Segal
• Orlando von Einsiedel and Joanna Natasegara

The alumni above are a only a handful of the many LSE alumni who have and continue to impact our world. The LSE Alumni Shaping the World special report formed part of the 2023 People and Change LSE Festival. A selection of our alumni were featured in the Festival's special exhibition: People and Change: LSE Alumni Shaping the World and many of those featured were chosen by faculty and staff across LSE.

Supporting the next generation of LSE leaders through scholarships

At LSE our mission depends on welcoming the most talented students, regardless of background. Today, that mission is under threat. Rising demand for scholarships, economic uncertainty, and global instability are putting access to an LSE education for many at risk – just when the world needs a diversity of ideas and perspectives the most.
