George Pitcher is a journalist, author, public relations pioneer and an Anglican priest. He is currently a Contributing Editor at Newsweek Europe and head of its editorial panel. He co-founded Jericho Chambers, a radical development of communications consultancy modelled on a set of legal chambers, with Robert Phillips, a former CEO at Edelman, in June 2013. Previously, he was appointed Secretary for Public Affairs to the Archbishop of Canterbury in October 2010 and left the post a year later. He was Religion Editor of Telegraph Media from May 2008 and wrote a regular column and occasional leaders for the Daily Telegraph and a contentious blog for telegraph.co.uk.

He has since been a regular contributor to RightMinds, the Daily Mail's on-line comment site.
