Welcome to the new John Pilger website

- November 9, 2010

Welcome to the new John Pilger website, a remarkable resource and historical record and now arguably the most comprehensive online collection of the work of a leading journalist.

For the first time, the majority of John Pilger’s 58 films for television and cinema can be viewed online. New features include a video and article search, a newsletter (for new article alerts and other news), social media tools and an RSS Feed.

The new site coincides with the lead up to the first John Pilger film for three years, ‘The War You Don’t See’, which premieres in London at the Barbican on Tuesday 7 December 2010 and begins its cinema run the following week. On Tuesday 14 December, the 90 minute film will air on ITV at 10.35pm

The relaunch has been made possible by the University of Lincoln, which is preparing a complete digital archive of John Pilger’s work.

John Pilger already has strong links with Lincoln – he is a visiting professor of journalism, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Arts in 2008 and he helped launch the School of Journalism in November 2004.

John Pilger announced the launch of the new site at the University of Lincoln on Monday 1 November 2010.

The site has been designed and developed by the Lincoln-based BrandFour Design Agency

The John Pilger website was first launched in 1999 as part of the ITV franchise website Carlton.com
