Sandy MacIntyre (48), Vice President and Director of News for International Video, joined the AP in 1994 as one of the founding fathers of its London-based international video news agency. An Emmy award-winning editor, he has journalistic and financial responsibility to lead AP’s global television staff of 250 people on the big stories which shape the 24/7 multimedia world we inhabit today. In recent years MacIntyre has been one of AP’s senior news leaders focussed on having its text, photographic and video operations work together in pursuit of distinctive, compelling journalism to fuel traditional markets and the digital information space. Most recently he has been one of the architects of a business transformation project designed to ensure the continued profitability of AP’s international video arm and equip it for the challenges of providing high definition digital video for a range of platforms and devices from TV screens to mobile. Scots-born and Edinburgh Napier University educated in journalism, MacIntyre came to AP from British television where as a foreign editor, correspondent and front-line producer he covered the full gambit of news, politics and sport - including war reporting in the Balkans, Chechnya and Iraq, revolution across Eastern Europe, genocide in Rwanda and the US presidential campaigns from 1988 onwards. MacIntyre has led editorial teams at 5 Olympic Games, 6 soccer World Cups and produced live TV coverage from a submarine in the depths of Loch Ness - whilst hunting the elusive monster in the lake - to the beaches of a Pacific island in Kiribati, which was first to see the new dawn of the millennium.
