David Leigh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Leigh is a British journalist, author and editor. He has been one of Britain's leading investigative journalists since the 1970s, and with his 1988 book The Wilson Plot he did much to increase public interest in alleged attempts by the British security services and others to destabilise Harold Wilson's government in the 1970s. Currently he is assistant editor of The Guardian.

In 2006, Leigh became the United Kingdom's first professor of reporting at City University, London.
