Paul Kenyon Biography
Paul Kenyon is a BAFTA-winning journalist, presenter, and bestselling author recognized for his extensive career in British investigative broadcasting. Kenyon has reported from more than 50 countries, including multiple conflict zones, often for BBC, and is the author of several books and podcasts. He has contributed to BBC Panorama and is regarded as one of the United Kingdom's most experienced undercover filmmakers. Before joining Panorama, Kenyon hosted his own investigative show on BBC1, "Kenyon Confronts." For four years, Kenyon Confronts used secret filming to expose corruption in areas such as horse racing, the Catholic Church, and immigration, and at its peak, it was the most watched current affairs program on BBC.
Kenyon's work is characterized by an on-the-ground approach to major global stories. He has conducted investigative journalism in challenging environments, including confronting Gaddafi's son in a cage of lions and secretly filming at Iran's nuclear sites. Kenyon has also stopped a sham wedding during an investigation and staged his own funeral in Haiti to expose insurance fraud. He received a BAFTA for a Panorama exposé on patient abuse at a care home in Bristol, "Undercover Care: The Abuse Exposed." Kenyon was the first television journalist to report from both sides of the Libya conflict and received the Association of International Broadcasters Award.
Kenyon's reporting often explores the human stories behind global crises. He traveled the dangerous migration route from sub-Saharan Africa to Europe, providing insight into the experiences of young Africans seeking safety. Kenyon was named Specialist Journalist of the Year by the Royal Television Society for a series of Panorama programs on migration. He reported from Crimea during the Russian annexation, covering events at the Belbeck Airbase in Sevastopol as Russian troops took control. Kenyon has continued to report from Ukraine.
As an author, Kenyon has published several books based on his fieldwork. His first book, "I Am Justice: A Journey out of Africa," details the journey of 27 African migrants across the Sahara and Mediterranean. His second book, "Dictatorland: The Men Who Stole Africa," was recognized by Financial Times. His third book, "Children of the Night: The Strange and Epic Story of Modern Romania," explores Romania's modern history. "China's African Empire: The Country That Captured a Continent" examines China's influence in Africa. Kenyon is a recipient of the Association of International Broadcasters Award and three Royal Television Society awards, and is known for his expertise in investigative journalism, global affairs, and human rights.
