Piers Morgan education background: Where did Piers Morgan go to college and high school?

British journalist, broadcaster, writer, and television host English literature graduate Piers Stefan Pughe-Morgan (born 30 March 1965). He began his Fleet Street career in 1988 at The Sun.

In 1994, when he was just 29 years old, Rupert Murdoch named him editor of the News of the World, making him the publication’s youngest editor in more than 50 years.

Beginning in 1995, Morgan edited the Daily Mirror before being let go in 2004. He was the editorial director of First News from 2006 to 2007.

Morgan was the editor of the Daily Mirror at the time it was implicated in the phone hacking incident. In 2011, Morgan said that “to my knowledge,” he had never “published any story gathered by the hacking of a phone.”

He also denied ever having done so. The findings of the Leveson Inquiry, which were released the following year, included criticism of Morgan. According to the report’s chair, Brian Leveson, Morgan had made statements about phone hacking that were “utterly unpersuasive” and “that he was aware that it was taking place in the press as a whole and that he was sufficiently unembarrassed by what was criminal behavior that he was prepared to joke about it.”
