Journalism

Davis has written widely for conservative news outlets such as the [[Daily Telegraph] and Spectator. From at least 1990 Davis worked for the Jerusalem Post, providing copy from London from 1990 to at least 2002 and writing regular copy for the paper until 2005. He was for a period a 'senior editor' at the [[Jerusalem Post] according to some sources.[1]


Views on the BBC and Israel and the US

According to the Jerusalem Post: 'On May 30, 2002 Douglas Davis, the London correspondent of the Post, wrote: "Why I won't talk to the BBC" and explained that since September 11, 2001 [the date of the bombing of the World Trade Center in New York], he had refused all invitations to appear on the BBC because it had crossed a dangerous threshold of anti-Israeli and anti-American bias.'[2]

Think tanks connection

Between at least 2009 and 2012 Davis was a board member of the Paris based Jean Jacques Rousseau Institute[3][4]
