Lisa Markwell
Lisa Markwell (born 1965) is a journalist. She was the editor of The Independent On Sunday for three years, from April 2013 until its closure in March 2016. She was appointed by proprietor Evgeny Lebedev as the first of three new editors for his ESI Media portfolio; he announced the appointment in a tweet.[1]
