Sir Harold Evans My Paper Chase: True Stories of Vanished Times
November 19
07:00PM - 08:00PM
Sir Harold Evans is known for his legendary career in journalism and publishing, but what many don't know is the journey this son of a railway driver has taken over the last half century. In an age when newspapers across the country, from San Francisco to Boston, are under threat, My Paper Chase is not just a glorious recounting of an amazing life, but a celebration of the power and creativity in the newspaper life. It is a nostalgic journey-a love story about newspapers-but also the love story of Mr. Evans and the bright, young journalist, Tina Brown, who became his wife.
