Peter Chippindale
Peter Chippindale (4 July 1945 – 10 August 2014) was a British newspaper journalist and author. He was born to Keith and Ruth Chippindale in Northern India, where his father was a captain in the 11th Sikh regiment. As a child he attended Sedbergh School.[1]
He worked initially for The Guardian newspaper and was sent to Belfast at the height of The Troubles. Chippindale reported on the Birmingham Six trial[2] and that of the Guildford Four and "he thought they'd got the wrong men in both cases".[3] His suspicions convinced Chris Mullin to investigate and led eventually to their acquittal.[4]
In 1981 he worked on documentaries for London Weekend Television's The London Programme.[5] He was news editor for the left wing News on Sunday and charted its demise with fellow ex-employee Chris Horrie in their book Disaster: The Rise and Fall of News on Sunday.[6] He also co-wrote Stick It Up Your Punter!, a history of Rupert Murdoch's The Sun with Horrie.[1]
