Llewellyn King
Llewellyn King was born and educated in Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. At age 16, he began his career as a journalist. He was a correspondent in Africa for Time magazine, among other international news organizations.
 
In the late 1950s, he moved to London, where he wrote for a number of Fleet Street newspapers, the British Broadcasting Corporation and Independent Television Network.

In 1963, he moved to New York City and worked for The New York Herald Tribune. Two years later, he started the first women’s liberation magazine, Women Now. Moving to the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. area in the late 1960s, he worked for The Baltimore News American, The Washington Daily News and The Washington Post.

In 1973, after working as Washington editor of McGraw-Hill’s Nucleonics Week, he started The Weekly Energy Report, which became The Energy Daily. In addition to The Energy Daily, King Publishing Group and King Communications Group newsletters now include: Defense Week, Space & Missile Defense Report, Navy News & Undersea Technology, New Technology Week and White House Weekly. They are frequently recognized for the quality of their reporting and analysis. In recent years, they have won top awards from the National Press Club and the Newsletter Publishers Association.

King’s "Capital Diary" column in White House Weekly is often cited in major media, including The Washington Times, NBC’s "Meet the Press" and "The McLaughlin Group." His stories and editorials have been published in hundreds of newspapers and magazines around the world, including The Financial Times of London and The Journal of Commerce.

King is the host of "White House Chronicle," which airs on public and cable television in Washington, D.C., and on the GoodLife cable television network. For two years, from 1997-99, King co-hosted "The Bull & The Bear," a cable television show on the stock market, airing on Comcast/GoodLife Television Network.
