Timeline

1954

David Morris Aaronovitch (born 8 July 1954) is an English journalist, television presenter and author.

1965

Aaronovitch attended Gospel Oak Primary School until 1965, Holloway County Comprehensive (now Holloway School) until 1968, and William Ellis School from 1968 to 1972, all in London.

He studied Modern History at Balliol College, Oxford.

1975

While at Manchester, Aaronovitch was a member of the 1975 University Challenge team that lost in the first round after answering most questions with the name of a Marxist ("Trotsky", "Lenin", "Karl Marx" or "Che Guevara").

The tactics were a protest against the fact that the University of Oxford and Cambridge University were allowed to enter each of their colleges into the contest as a separate team, even though the colleges were not universities in themselves.

Aaronovitch was initially a Eurocommunist, and was active in the National Union of Students (NUS).

There he got to know the president at the time, Charles Clarke, who later became Home Secretary.

1978

Aaronovitch completed his education at the Victoria University of Manchester, graduating in 1978 with a 2:1 BA (Hons) in History.

1980

Aaronovitch himself succeeded Trevor Phillips as president of the NUS from 1980 to 1982.

He was elected on a Left Alliance ticket.

Aaranovitch began his media career in the early 1980s as a television researcher and later producer for the ITV programme Weekend World.

1988

In 1988, he began working at the BBC as founding editor of the political current affairs programme On the Record.

1995

He moved to print journalism in 1995, working for The Independent and The Independent on Sunday as chief leader writer, television critic, parliamentary sketch writer and columnist until the end of 2002.

2000

He is a regular columnist for The Times and the author of Paddling to Jerusalem: An Aquatic Tour of Our Small Country (2000), Voodoo Histories: the role of Conspiracy Theory in Modern History (2009) and Party Animals: My Family and Other Communists (2016).

2001

He won the Orwell Prize for political journalism in 2001, and the What the Papers Say "Columnist of the Year" award for 2003.

He previously wrote for The Independent and The Guardian.

Aaronovitch is the son of communist intellectual and economist Sam Aaronovitch, and brother of actor Owen Aaronovitch and author and screenwriter Ben Aaronovitch.

His parents were atheists whose "faith was Marxism", according to Aaronovitch, and he is ethnically half Jewish and half Irish.

He has written that he was brought up "to react to wealth with a puritanical pout".

2003

He began contributing to The Guardian and The Observer in 2003 as a columnist and feature writer.

Aaronovitch's columns appeared in The Guardian's G2 section.

His desire for his pieces to appear on the main comment pages, according to Peter Wilby, was reportedly vetoed by the section editor, Seumas Milne, although Aaronovitch himself does not know if Milne was involved in the decision.

Aaronovitch said the case had "been made" for the 2003 invasion of Iraq and that he "reluctantly support[ed] military action," his "biggest reason" being "the failure of "vigilant containment" to help the people of Iraq."

Since the invasion he maintains the view that it liberated Iraqis, and has played down the significance of Iraq's putative weapons of mass destruction.

However, he wrote in 2003: "If nothing is eventually found, I – as a supporter of the war – will never believe another thing that I am told by our government, or that of the US ever again. And, more to the point, neither will anyone else. Those weapons had better be there somewhere."

2004

In 2004 he presented The Norman Way, a three-part BBC Radio 4 documentary looking at régime change in 1066.

2005

Since June 2005, he has written a regular column for The Times that he set to depart from in March 2023 following an announcement he made in January 2023 on Twitter.

He has also been a columnist for The Jewish Chronicle.

In addition, Aaronovitch has written for a variety of other major British news and opinion publications, such as the New Statesman.

In addition, he has written for New Humanist, and is an "honorary associate" of its publisher, the Rationalist Association.

Aaronovitch also presents or contributes to radio and television programmes, including the BBC's Have I Got News for You and BBC News 24.

In late 2005, Aaronovitch was co-author, with Oliver Kamm and journalist Francis Wheen, of a complaint to The Guardian, after it published an apology to Noam Chomsky for an interview by Emma Brockes, in which she asserted that Chomsky had denied the Srebrenica massacre.

2006

A Guardian readers' editor found that the newspaper had misrepresented Chomsky's position on the Srebrenica massacre, and that judgement was upheld in May 2006 by an external ombudsman, John Willis.

2007

Aaronovitch also hosted the BBC series The Blair Years (2007), which examined the prime ministership of Tony Blair.

Some journalists were unimpressed with Aaronovitch or dismissed the series.

2013

In his column of 5 September 2013, Aaronovitch criticized the Labour leader Ed Miliband for allegedly providing no alternative to military intervention in Syria, after the use of chemical weapons in the Ghouta attacks of 21 August 2013.

For Aaronovitch, "politically [Miliband] is not a presence at all, he is an absence" and "is neither hunter nor prey, he is scavenger. He is a political vulture."

During 2013, though Aaronovitch had vigorously supported the bombing campaigns against Iraq, Libya and Syria, he became the chairman of the human rights organisation Index on Censorship, succeeding Jonathan Dimbleby in the role.

2018

On 7 September 2018, he labelled people who ask him about the article "lamebrains".

He remains a strong supporter of former Prime Minister Tony Blair.
