Inside Edition is a syndicated news program, on the air since January 9, 1989. It was originally similar to the programs Hard Copy and A Current Affair, but now more closely resembles Entertainment Tonight or The Insider. It was created by John Tomlin and Bob Young for King World Productions. The show was originally a mix of tabloid crime stories, investigative pieces and celebrity gossip; now it's a mix of investigative pieces, entertainment and celebrity news, and human interest stories.

The first host of the program was David Frost, who was abruptly replaced after about three weeks with Bill O'Reilly. The current host is former Today co-host Deborah Norville, who took over for O'Reilly in 1995, and remains the host to this day.

Besides providing news, Inside Edition also does investigative reporting on controversial subjects. For example, reporter Matt Meagher examined claims made by Peter Popoff who sells "Miracle Water."[1] Meagher confronted Popoff who slammed his Porsche door on the reporter.

  • Bill O'Reilly claimed that during his tenure the program won two Peabody Awards; a false claim. However, the show did win one George Polk Award for reporting done after O'Reilly had departed. O'Reilly later said that he had confused the Polk awards with the Peabodies, after his claim was repeatedly called into question by author Al Franken.
  • Steve Wilson, an investigative reporter on Inside Edition during the early 1990s, was involved in a controversy in 1997 regarding an investigative report for Fox Broadcasting affiliate WTVT (Tampa Bay, Florida) on Monsanto's use of the RBGH drug on cattle and the potential risk to human consumers. WTVT allegedly attempted to distort information in the negative report and fired both Wilson and his wife and colleague, Jane Akre, when they threatened to blow the whistle. They sued Fox and won their case in 2000, but the ruling was overturned in 2004 on a technicality.
