K.J. Yossman Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) and Guardian Media Group have tapped Tara Bohn and Lindsay Poulton to lead the companies’ creative partnership.

The strategic joint enterprise was first announced last year. It will see SPE get exclusive first rights to adapting the Guardian’s journalism for screen, both in scripted and unscripted.

Bohn, who comes from Amazon Studios’ series team, takes on the role of head of global content development while Poulton has joned the Guardian in the inaugural role of editorial director for film and TV.

Both roles will be based at the Guardian’s London headquarters. At Amazon Studios Bohn worked across development and current series including “Reacher” and “Carnival Row” and has also worked with SPE on projects such as “The Good Doctor” and “The Scandal” anthology.
