During his 20-year career, Bill O'Reilly has reported from all over the world, including Vietnam, Kuwait, Berlin, Brazil, Australia, Japan, France, Romania and England. In total, O'Reilly has traveled to 52 countries and visited all 50 states.

O'Reilly's career as an anchor began at the CBS and ABC affiliates in Boston, and continued at KATU-TV in Portland, Oregon, before he joined ABC News as a correspondent in 1986. During his time with ABC, O'Reilly appeared on The World News broadcast over 100 times and received a National Headliner Award for excellence in investigative reporting for a series of exposes on the Bradley fighting vehicle.

Following his award-winning career in network television, Mr. O'Reilly succeeded David Frost as the anchor for the nationally syndicated program, Inside Edition. During O'Reilly's time with the television news magazine the program reached its ratings pinnacle and was a regular fixture among the top 10 ratings for syndicated shows.

While at Inside, O'Reilly was the first national anchor to broadcast live from the scene of the Los Angeles riots and was named Reporter of the Year by several organizations. O'Reilly also penned an opinion column found in The Boston Herald for seven years. He has also had many other articles grace the pages of news publications such as Newsweek, The New York Times, and Parade magazine.

In 1995 O'Reilly was accepted into the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He subsequently resigned from his job at Inside Edition and prepared to go back to school by writing his first novel, Those Who Trespass: A Novel of Murder and Television, which is now in its second printing. In the spring of 1996, he received a Masters Degree in Public Policy and immediately renewed his television career with the fledgling Fox News Network as the executive producer and anchor of The O'Reilly Factor.

As the success of The O'Reilly Factor has rapidly increased over the past five years, Mr. O'Reilly has found that time is a rare commodity. However, he has found time to begin work on his second novel, which he hopes will be released in the near future.
