Isabel Nancy Hilton OBE (born 25 November 1949 in Aberdeen) is a Scottish journalist and broadcaster based in London.

Biography

She was educated at Edinburgh University where she studied Chinese to post-graduate level. As Secretary of the entirely non-subversive China-Scottish Association, based at her University, Hilton was placed on MI5's "Christmas Tree" list, which prevented her from employment with the BBC in 1976.[1] By the time the issue had been resolved, Hilton had become a feature writer for the Daily Express.

Having been the Latin American affairs editor at the Sunday Times, she chose not to move to Wapping with her paper and joined The Independent in 1986 and filled the same role there. Hilton joined The Guardian in 1997, where she has contributed a regular column.

Hilton presented The World Tonight 1995–98 on BBC Radio 4 and from 1999 has presented Nightwaves on BBC Radio 3. Concurrently from March 2005 to July 2007 she was editor and then editor-in-chief of the openDemocracy.net[2] website and is now the editor of Chinadialogue.

Isabel Hilton is married to Neal Ascherson, with whom she has a son and daughter.

Hilton was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2009 Birthday Honours.[3]

Controversy

On BBC Radio 4's "Britain and China" programme, discussing the operation of Chinese nuclear power plant being supplied to the UK, Hilton defended China's position on maintenance, suggesting, "perhaps from Beijing they can shut down and calibrate a nuclear power plant, without actually having to be here."
