Even when facing immense challenges and controversies, Brooks remained steadfast in her belief in the role of the press in holding power accountable and giving voice to the public.
In 2015, after a period of personal and professional adversity, Brooks made a triumphant return to News UK as CEO, a move that marked her as a figure of incredible resilience and reinvention. She led the company into the digital age with bold, innovative strategies, transforming News UK into a media powerhouse that now spans print, digital, and broadcast platforms. Her leadership has been pivotal in expanding the company’s reach, launching new ventures, and securing its future in an ever-evolving media landscape. Brooks’ story is one of extraordinary determination, courage, and reinvention, proving that true leaders rise not just in success but through overcoming adversity.
