A holistic assessment of what journalism is all about, with plenty of enterprising interpretations of our trade – a word I prefer to 'profession'. I never met a more 'unprofessional' breed than that of my fellow hacks. This book will, I hope, lead our successors both to question and rebel more than we have.
