Peter Dorling, presenter, producer, jourrnalists' tutor and newsroom veteran, has died aged 92.  I will post more details when I receive them.

This is Peter's family's tribute for Prospero.

Peter devoted more than 35 years to the BBC, building a distinguished career in radio and television journalism defined by his belief in fair, accurate and impartial reporting. From helping launch The World at One to producing, directing, reporting and presenting BBC Television News, journalism was not simply his profession but his passion. Away from broadcasting, his greatest joy was his long and happy marriage to Isobel, his wife of more than 50 years, and the family life they shared.

Born in 1934, Peter grew up in Woodford Green, Essex, and experienced evacuation during the Second World War. A gifted musician, he remained devoted to church music throughout his life, singing in choirs and playing the organ. After leaving Chigwell School, he completed National Service with the Royal Corps of Signals, where his fascination with radio technology deepened.

That fascination had begun during childhood illnesses that left him confined to bed listening to the BBC. Joining the Corporation seemed an ambitious dream, but in 1956, after three rigorous interviews, he began his career as a studio manager in BBC Radio.

His ten years in radio cemented his love of journalism. He helped devise and produce the pioneering news programme The World at One and was one of its first reporters when it launched in 1965. In 1969 he moved to BBC Television News, where he worked as a producer, director, interviewer, presenter and newsreader, covering many of the major political and social events of the post-war era.

During the 1980s and into the early 1990s, Peter headed BBC Television News Training, a role he was immensely proud of. He took great pleasure in helping to develop the next generation of journalists. Long after he had retired, he would see a familiar reporter on the news and, with a twinkle in his eye, proudly declare, "I taught them everything they know!" Those who knew him understood the affection and pride behind the remark.

After retiring from the BBC in 1992, Peter advised television news in Singapore and became a popular lecturer aboard Cunard ships, delivering around 200 talks on the history of the BBC.

Peter died aged 92 with his daughters, Tamsin and Karen, at his side. He will be remembered for his dedication to journalism, his affection for the BBC, his long and happy marriage to Isobel, and the warmth, curiosity and kindness with which he lived his life.
