Sir Robin Day (24 October 1923 – 6 August 2000) was an English political journalist and television and radio broadcaster.[1][2]
Day's obituary in The Guardian by Dick Taverne stated that he was "the most outstanding television journalist of his generation. He transformed the television interview, changed the relationship between politicians and television, and strove to assert balance and rationality into the medium's treatment of current affairs".[3]
