BIOGRAPHY
Eve Pollard is a journalist and media commentator, and was only the second woman ever to edit a national newspaper.
Eve can justly be dubbed 'the first lady of Fleet Street' with a varied and colourful career that has seen her rise from junior reporter to editor in the male-dominated world of old-school newspaper journalism.
Starting out in women's magazines, Eve rose to edit both the Sunday Mirror and Sunday Express, as well as magazine supplements for many of the national Sunday papers. Returning to women's titles she also launched Elle magazine in the US as its first editor-in-chief.
Today, Eve is a regular reporter on BBC1's The One Show. She also frequently appears on radio and TV from The News Quiz to You and Yours, This Morning to Have I Got News For You, Loose Women to the Daily Politics. Eve is also a published novelist and biographer.
A respected commentator on the media, its future, and its effects, Eve is a member of the Competition Commission's Newspaper Takeover Panel. She also lectures in media studies at Bournemouth University, where she is a visiting fellow. Eve is an active supporter and campaigner for the promotion of women's health, and is vice-chairman of the Wellbeing of Women charity.
Eve speaks on a number of issues including the media, politics and society, and women in business. After dinner, Eve has tales from Fleet Street and the corridors of power which feature everyone from Margaret Thatcher to Alastair Campbell and Rupert Murdoch. She is also an experienced and accomplished host and facilitator.

EXTRACT FROM JLA SPEAKERS BREAKFAST
The great thing about being a journalist is that you have a ringside seat at history. I have a tape of one interview I did where for twenty-nine minutes you do not hear my voice. Then finally, Mrs. Thatcher says 'Well, aren't you going to ask me a question, Eve?'
Newspapers have suddenly become aware that business is important. How do you get your story in the business pages? Here's a tip - have a feminine aspect to your business. Go mad, have a woman on the board! But at least have a female element to your story. The business pages love pictures of women to brighten up all that heavy copy.
Secondly, you can't have a CEO and board who are paralysed by the thought of the press. You are in it for the long haul. You have to make friends on the other side. Invite the press in - once they have seen the whites of your eyes, they can never be quite so nasty.
