A journalist for more than 30 years, Bill O’Reilly has now risen to the top of his profession. “The O’Reilly Factor” on the FOX News Channel continues to dominate the television news ratings. The program has been the highest rated cable news show for more than 200 consecutive weeks. It is now also seen in dozens of foreign countries.
In 2002, Mr. O’Reilly brought his “no spin” concept to radio. “The Radio Factor” is now heard on more than 400 stations nationwide and is one of the most profitable syndicated radio programs in history.
With four straight #1 New York Times best-sellers including The O’Reilly Factor, The No Spin Zone, Who’s Looking Out for You and his most recent Culture Warrior, and more than 5 million copies of his books in print, Bill O’Reilly continues to be a highly sought-after author. In Culture Warrior, O’Reilly analyzes the competing philosophies of the traditionalist and secular-progressive camps as he dives into matters of race, education, and the war on terror. Whatever controversies are roiling the nation, he fearlessly confronts them—and no one will be in the dark about which side he’s on.
Mr. O’Reilly also writes a syndicated newspaper column which is carried by hundreds of papers across the USA.
Raised in a working class family in the huge housing subdivision of Levittown, New York, Bill O’Reilly has stayed close to his roots. He still lives on Long Island and his best friends are neighborhood guys. But education sparked O’Reilly’s career.
He graduated with a degree in history from Marist College, with a Master’s Degree in broadcast journalism from Boston University, and attained another Master’s in Public Administration from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
Bill O’Reilly has won two Emmy Awards for excellence in reporting. He was awarded two National Headliner Awards while working as a national correspondent for ABC News, and was honored by The National Academy of Arts and Sciences for his reporting and analysis on and after September 11th, 2001.
Mr. O’Reilly resides in New York.
