Nick Robinson's Biography

Nick Robinson is a journalist and presenter on BBC’s Today Programme. Prior to this, he spent ten years as political editor for the BBC, and he has had many other roles with the broadcaster.

Nick is a rare example of someone who’s switched from working behind the camera to working in front of it. He joined the BBC as a production trainee in 1986 and worked on This Week, Next Week, Newsround, and Crimewatch. He joined On the Record as an assistant producer and worked his way up to become Deputy Editor. He then moved to Panorama where he was Deputy Editor for three years.

In 1996 Nick moved in front of the camera to become a political correspondent, covering his first General Election for BBC Radio in 1997. He was BBC News 24’s Chief Political Correspondent from 1999 to 2002, also presenting Westminster Live on BBC TWO, analysing Prime Minister’s Questions, and BBC News 24’s Straight Talk and One to One interview programme. He moved to ITV News in 2002.

He is the only broadcaster to have been Political Editor for both the BBC and ITV News.

He has written two books ‘ Live from Downing Street’ is both a personal account of life as BBC Political Editor and a wider examination of how the relationship between politicians and the media has developed over centuries. He also wrote ‘Election Notebook’ –  the story of the 2015 general election and the year leading up to it with a behind the scenes account of Nick’s encounters with leading politicians of all sides.
