Ron Neil

Ronald John Baillie Neil CBE (born 1941 or 1942) is a former BBC television journalist and news editor, who rose to become the BBC's overall director of news and current affairs in the late 1980s. He retired in 1998, but was recalled in 2004 to review BBC journalism and values in response to the criticisms made by the Hutton inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of Dr David Kelly.

Career

Originally a newspaper reporter from Glasgow, he joined BBC Scotland in 1967 as a radio reporter based in Aberdeen, just as the television service moved to a more hard news agenda with the inception of Reporting Scotland the following year. One story he covered for Reporting Scotland was the loss of the Longhope lifeboat in 1969. He has supported the lifeboats ever since, and as of 2009 is deputy chairman of the RNLI board of trustees.

He moved in 1969 to the Current Affairs Department in London to become a producer on the new series Nationwide, on which he worked until 1976, eventually becoming its output editor. Later he was editor of Tonight (1979) and That's Life! (1981).
