Historia
At six years old, Terry was told by his headteacher that he would never amount to anything. He spent the rest of his life proving that teacher wrong. At 66, Terry had lived a life full of achievements: becoming one of the UK's best-selling writers, winning the Carnegie Medal and being awarded a knighthood for services to literature. Following his untimely death from Alzheimer's disease, the mantle of completing Terry's memoir was passed to Rob Wilkins, his former assistant, friend and now head of the author's literary estate.

I felt Rob’s (and mine and everyone else’s) very deeply, but what a life and what a mind and most of all, so much love.

Historia
The President of the United States regularly lies to the public and accuses anyone who criticises him of being fake. Politicians openly rubbish the views of 'so called experts', dissemble and mislead. So how do we hold those in power accountable? Fox News, Breitbart Media and the Murdoch papers peddle views not news, pushing politically motivated agendas. So, where can we look for reliable, verifiable sources of news and information? What does it mean for democracy? And what will the future hold?

Possibly the best ‘behind the scenes’ book on British and Western journalism

Possibly the best ‘behind the scenes’ book on British and Western journalism
Revisado: 02-05-21
A career story that becomes a gripping analysis on the (perilous) state of journalism today, how we got here and what the future could bring (spoiler: not positive, but also not quite as pessimistic as how Nick Davies concluded Flat Earth News). Slow, number crunching at times, but several chapters read almost like a thriller, f.i. the inside stories on the News International phone-hacking scandal and the Guardian’s involvement with Wikileaks and Snowden and the dealings with big tech companies. (I understand better now why Rusbridger voluntarily chooses to be on the Facebook Oversight Board). Narrator Samuel West was - is he ever not? - wonderful. Let’s hope the audiobook Gods give him more of this type of socially important material in future.
