Mick Hume (born 1959) is a British journalist and author whose writing focuses on issues of free speech and freedom of the press.
Hume was born in New Haw, Surrey, and educated at Woking County Grammar School for Boys and the University of Manchester.
[3] After the RCP folded in 1996, Hume helped to relaunch the magazine as LM, which he edited until it was forced to close in 2000 after losing a libel suit brought by ITN, over claims that the magazine had made concerning ITN's reporting of Trnopolje camp in Bosnia.
[4][3] In 2001, Hume was launch editor of the online magazine Spiked, the UK's first web-only comment and current affairs publication.
Daniel Finkelstein of The Times described it as "a masterclass in the writing of polemic".
