Pilger is a strong critic of American, Australian and British foreign policy, which he considers to be driven by an imperialist agenda. Pilger has also criticised his native country's treatment of Indigenous Australians. He first drew international attention for his reports on the Cambodian genocide.[7]

His career as a documentary film maker began with The Quiet Mutiny (1970), made during one of his visits to Vietnam, and has continued with over fifty documentaries since then. Other works in this form include Year Zero (1979), about the aftermath of the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia, and Death of a Nation: The Timor Conspiracy (1993). Pilger's many documentary films on indigenous Australians include The Secret Country (1985) and Utopia (2013). In the British print media, Pilger worked at the Daily Mirror from 1963 to 1986,[8] and wrote a regular column for the New Statesman magazine from 1991 to 2014.

Pilger has won Britain's Journalist of the Year Award in 1967 and 1979.[9] His documentaries have gained awards in Britain and worldwide,[8][10] including multiple BAFTA honors.[11] The practices of the mainstream media are a regular subject in Pilger's writing.

Rani životi i karijera

Pilger was born and raised in Bondi, a suburb of Sydney,[8] to Claude and Elsie Pilger. Graham (1932–2017), his brother, was a disabled rights activist who later advised the government of Gough Whitlam.[12] Their father's ancestors were German[13] and mother's were Irish, English and German; two maternal great-great-grandparents were Irish convicts transported to Australia.[14][15][16] His mother was a teacher of French.[14] Both brothers attended Sydney Boys High School,[8][12] where John Pilger began a student newspaper, The Messenger. He later joined a four-year journalist trainee scheme with the Australian Consolidated Press.[8]

Beginning his career in 1958 as a copy boy with the Sydney Sun, Pilger later moved to the city's Daily Telegraph, where he was a reporter, sports writer and sub-editor.[8][17] He also freelanced and worked for the Sydney Sunday Telegraph, the daily paper's sister title. After moving to Europe, he was for a year a freelance correspondent in Italy.[18]
