Meirion Jones is a British journalist working for the BBC. In 2013 he won the London Press Awards Scoop of the Year prize for his part in the investigation into Jimmy Savile. In 2010 he won the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, Daniel Pearl Award for his investigation of the dumping of Trafigura's toxic waste in Africa. He has been described by Greg Palast, as "the nonpareil investigative journalist"〔Greg Palast ''Armed Madhouse'', London: Penguin 2007, p.384〕 and by Robin Denselow in ''UK Press Gazette'' as "one of the best investigative journalists around".〔http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/story.asp?storycode=41166〕 Jones has investigated many subjects including the '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〔http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article4086011.ece〕 and financial scams. He also worked with journalist Liz Mackean in late 2011 on a ''Newsnight'' investigation into the activities of suspected paedophile Jimmy Savile. Its rejection by their superior, (former) ''Newsnight'' editor Peter Rippon ultimately led to a major scandal. ==Early career== Jones was the first full-time Editor of the Cardiff student paper "''Gair Rhydd''.〔()〕 He worked at ''Your Computer'' magazine then freelanced at ''New Scientist'' where he wrote about everything from food poisoning to how to phase out the CFCs which at the time were damaging the ozone layer.〔() Hospital caterers 'could cause listeriosis epidemic' New Scientist 21 July 1988〕〔() In search of the safe CFCs New Scientist 26 May 1988〕 He has also written freelance for ''The Guardian'', ''The Daily Telegraph'' and ''The Independent''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Meirion Jones」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
