Timeline

1983

James Franklin Archibald "Archie" Bland (born 7 October 1983), is a British newspaper journalist who writes the Guardian's daily morning newsletter First Edition.

Bland was born in 1983, the only child of Sir Christopher Bland, the former chairman of the BBC's Board of Governors (the forerunner of the BBC Trust), British Telecom, the Royal Shakespeare Company, London Weekend Television and a number of other companies, as well as Deputy Chairman of the former Independent Broadcasting Authority, and Lady Bland (née Jennifer Mary Denise May), the daughter of William May, a former Northern Irish Minister for Education.

Bland is the half-brother of four siblings, through his mother's earlier marriage to Thomas Edmund Byng, the 8th Earl of Strafford, among whom are the author Georgia Byng and Jamie Byng, the owner of publishing house Canongate Books.

1997

Between the years 1997–2002, Bland was educated at Winchester College, a boarding independent school for boys in Winchester in Hampshire, where he stayed at Boarding House I, known as Turner's (and informally as Hopper's).

At Winchester, Bland obtained four A*s, three A's and two B's at GCSE, followed by Emmanuel College, Cambridge, at which he became the editor of Varsity, the student newspaper of the university.

2003

He had previously appeared on the programme in 2003, at the age of 19.

2004

He was named Guardian Student Columnist of the Year in 2004 (part of the Guardian Student Media Award), for his work as Varsity's Editor, and elected to a Senior Exhibition in the years 2004 – 2005, gaining a First in English Literature (BA).

2006

He received the Fulbright Alistair Cooke Award in Journalism (part of the Fulbright Program) for 2006–7, a scholarship which enabled him to study at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York City, from which he received a master's degree in Journalism in 2007.

He graduated from Columbia with Honors, receiving the School's Henry N. Taylor Award.

2007

Bland joined The Independent on Sunday newspaper in 2007 as a graphics researcher.

2010

In October 2010 he became Foreign Editor, replacing Katherine Butler, and Deputy Editor of the paper in April 2012.

He was a regular columnist in the Independent, and a contributor to the Columbia Journalism Review.

2012

Bland was previously the deputy editor of The Independent, a national British newspaper, a post to which he was appointed in April 2012, at the age of 28.

He was also the editor of the Saturday edition of The Independent.

He was one of the youngest people to have ever been appointed to a senior editorial post in the British national newspaper industry, described as "easily the youngest deputy editor in the paper's history, the youngest in national newspapers today and perhaps ever on Fleet Street".

Bland won the last-ever episode of the BBC television game show The Weakest Link, in March 2012.

2013

In July 2013, Bland took up a new role as senior writer at both The Independent and The Independent on Sunday newspapers, and in September 2014, he joined The Guardian newspaper.
