Peter Oborne

Journalist and broadcaster

Peter Oborne is a political journalist. Since 2006, he has written for the Daily Mail, but also contributes to the Spectator, for whom he previously served as editor. In 2008 he presented an episode of Dispatches entitled It Shouldn’t Happen to a Muslim, which focused on the negative image of Muslims and Islam propagated by the media. In 2009, he was shortlisted for the Orwell Prize in Journalism.

Oborne is the author of a number of books, including The Triumph of the Political Class (2007), and The Rise of Political Lying (2005). Although he is best known for his political writing, in 2004 he won the Willam Hill Sports Book of the Year award for his biography of the South-African born English Cricketer Basil D’Oliveira.
