Lisagor gained nationwide recognition from his syndicated column and appearances on such public-affairs broadcasts as Meet the Press, Face the Nation, Washington Week in Review, and Agronsky & Company.
Lisagor was born in Keystone, West Virginia and moved to Chicago at age 14, where he attended Marshall High School.
He graduated from the University of Michigan with a bachelor's degree in political science.
Lisagor began his career in journalism in 1939 as a sportswriter for the Daily News.
During World War II he was a sergeant in the Army, serving as a correspondent and London editor for the service newspaper, Stars and Stripes.
He returned to the Daily News after the war.
In 1948 Lisagor was selected for a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University.
He was a recipient of the Newspaper Guild's Page One award, the George Foster Peabody Broadcasting award, the William Allen White award and the Edward Weintal Prize for diplomatic reporting.

In 1977, the United States' largest chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, the Chicago Headline Club, established the Peter Lisagor Awards "to inspire Chicago-area journalists to follow his outstanding example and to recognize truly superior contributions to journalism."
After Peter Lisagor died, his colleagues on Washington Week in Review gave Mr. Lisagor's explanation of his own philosophy of reporting: "Ride down the middle of the street, shooting out windows on both sides."
