SAMPLE
註釋
A vivid and whip-smart memoir from the legendary editor who spent decades leading newspapers in London and New York.
In
My Paper Chase
, Harold Evans recounts the wild and wonderful tale of newspapering life. His story stretches from the 1930s to his service in WWII, through towns big and off the map. He discusses his passion for the crusading style of reportage he championed, his clashes with Rupert Murdoch, and his struggle to use journalism to better the lives of those less fortunate. There's a star-studded cast and a tremendously vivid sense of what once was: the lead type, the smell of the presses, eccentrics throughout, and angry editors screaming over the intercoms.
My Paper Chase
tells the story of Evans's great loves: newspapers and Tina Brown, the bright, young journalist who became his wife.
In an age when newspapers everywhere are under threat,
My Paper Chase
is not just a glorious recounting of an amazing life, but a nostalgic journey in black and white.
