Kelvin MacKenzie

Kelvin MacKenzie is a controversial British journalist and media executive best known for his tenure as editor of The Sun newspaper from 1981 to 1994. His time at The Sun was marked by sensationalist journalism, aggressive tabloid tactics, and significant increases in circulation.

MacKenzie's editorship is particularly remembered for its coverage of major events, including the Falklands%20War and the Hillsborough%20disaster. The latter is a source of enduring controversy, with The Sun's reporting, particularly its infamous "The Truth" headline, widely condemned for its inaccurate and insensitive portrayal of the tragedy and its victims. This coverage led to a widespread boycott of the newspaper in Liverpool that continues to this day.

After leaving The Sun, MacKenzie held various media roles, including positions at BSkyB and Talksport. He has remained a vocal commentator on media and political affairs, often expressing right-wing opinions. His views and past actions continue to generate debate and criticism. He is associated with News%20Corporation.
