Produktbeschreibung
With the press and phone hacking controversy never far from the public's mind Press Ganged tells of a raw recruit setting out on a journalistic career in the 1960s in a same-but-very-different atmosphere from that of the 21st century. The stories covered are fictional, loosely based on personal experience, ranging from defying the Ministry of Defence to probing the occult, uncovering sleeze in high places to monitoring progress of an airport extension protest, and generally being present at people's joyous and tragic moments. The headlines might not always tell it as it was.The whole is told against a background of life in the computer- and-mobile- phone-free newsroom with a cast of news gatherers, supervised by an early version of Mr. Murdoch, and their personal stories.
Autorenporträt
Celia Andrews spent her working life as a journalist, including theatre critic, with 'free time' as vicar's wife, both of which she fictionalised in her three published novels and short story collection. She is also a published poet. Her BA in English Literature further deepened her love of Jane Austen's works and, unable to bear not knowing what happened to the characters in the unfinished The Watsons, she has written this for the benefit of others wanting to know. Her own life began dramatically as a foundling in a park, then very happily adopted.
