Meirion Jones
Meirion Jones is a Welsh journalist. He worked for the BBC from 1988 until 2015 and is now the editor of the Bureau of Investigative Journalism. Former ''Newsnight'' presenter Jeremy Paxman described Jones as "a dogged journalist with that obsessional, slightly nutty commitment that marks out all successful investigative reporters".Jones has investigated many subjects, including the alleged fixing of the US presidential election in 2000, toxic waste dumping in Africa, how Britain helped Israel’s nuclear weapons programme, market-rigging by multinationals, bogus bomb detectors, tsunami aid, terror and security, political scandals, and financial scams. He has written for many newspapers including ''The Guardian''.
Jones also worked with journalist Liz MacKean in late 2011 on a ''Newsnight'' investigation which aimed to expose recently deceased BBC star Jimmy Savile as a prolific paedophile. Its suppression by their boss, then ''Newsnight'' editor Peter Rippon, ultimately led to a major scandal. Jones featured in Netflix's two-part documentary ''Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story'' (2022). Provided by Wikipedia
