Trevor McDonald

Sir Trevor McDonald OBE (born George McDonald) is a Trinidadian-British newsreader and journalist, best known for his career as a news presenter with ITN.

After working as a print and broadcast journalist in Trinidad during the 1960s, in 1969, McDonald was employed by BBC Radio as a producer, based in London but still broadcasting to the Caribbean. In 1973, he began his long association with Independent Television News as a general reporter and was also ITN's first black reporter. McDonald later became a sports correspondent, but he ultimately concentrated on international politics. In the 1980s, he spent some time with the ITN-produced Channel 4 News, but returned to ITV in 1989, presenting the early-evening news.

McDonald holds honorary degrees from the University of Plymouth and Liverpool John Moores University. McDonald received an OBE in the News Year's Honours List in 1992 and was appointed Knight Bachelor in the Queen's 1999 Birthday Honours for his services to broadcasting and journalism. He was awarded with "Special Recognition" at the National Television Awards in 2003 and with a BAFTA fellowship at the 2011 British Academy Television Awards.
