My Paper Chase
by Harold Evans
This is mostly about investigation and communication and presentation and making your readers aware of what’s going on. It’s a rather inspirational book, about the highlights of some of the best things editors have achieved.
Good Times, Bad Times
by Harold Evans
Harry Evans was a really wonderful editor – and a fantastic journalist. If you asked British journalists today who they think is the best journalist of all time I imagine a large proportion would say Harry Evans, straight off. The reason he was so good was that he understood reporting, which many editors don’t, and he really loved reporting, which many editors don’t. He would never back away from a fight.
