Legendary journalist John Pilger has died
John Pilger: he has passed away but his effect on investigative journalism should last forever.
It’s the last day of a terrible year – and 2023 had one final blow to deal us:
It is with great sadness the family of John Pilger announce he died yesterday 30 December 2023 in London aged 84. His journalism and documentaries were celebrated around the world, but to his family he was simply the most amazing and loved Dad, Grandad and partner. Rest In Peace. pic.twitter.com/j90QTAPgzC

This Writer can only agree with and echo the sentiments expressed by Dorset Eye:
We … are in shock.
John was an esteemed journalist who embodied the essence of investigative reporting and activism through his profound commitment to uncovering the truth behind complex global issues. With a career spanning several decades, John carved a niche for himself as a fearless commentator, documentary filmmaker, and author, championing the cause of social justice and exposing the often-hidden realities of power, politics, and human suffering.
