Merryn Webb Honored with Doctorate

Merryn Somerset Webb, editor-in-chief of MoneyWeek and financial journalism icon, has been awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters by Heriot-Watt University — the highest honor the institution bestows — for her groundbreaking work in making economics and personal finance accessible to all. Celebrated at Edinburgh’s summer graduation, the accolade recognizes her decades of impactful journalism, from her early days as a Tokyo stockbroker to her influential columns at the Financial Times and her current roles as UK wealth editor-at-large for Bloomberg and host of “Merryn Talks Money.” Her deep ties to Edinburgh, including her annual Fringe show exploring Adam Smith’s enduring legacy at Panmure House (owned by the university), further cement her alignment with Heriot-Watt’s mission to advance economic thought.
