The BBC’s Robert Peston has been named as the number one most rated journalist by both journalists themselves and the general public in an exclusive Press Gazette survey.

For the December edition, Press Gazette asked 50 journalists and 1,000 members of the public (in a weighted national survey) to name their favourite business and finance journalist.

Peston was the runaway winner, followed by Martin Lewis of Moneysavingexpert.com and then Martin Wolf of the Financial Times. Jeff Randall of Sky News was in fourth position, followed by Gillian Tett, also of the FT.
