In Harold Evans's classic memoir, he tells the inside story of Rupert Murdoch's takeover of the "Times "of London and his rise to become a global media power
In 1981, Harold Evans was the editor of one of Britain's most prestigious publications, the" Sunday Times," which had thrived under his watch. When Australian publishing baron Rupert Murdoch bought the daily" Times" of London, he persuaded Evans to become its editor with guarantees of editorial independence. But after a year of broken promises and conflict over the paper's direction, Evans departed amid an international media firestorm. Evans's story is a gripping, behind-the-scenes look at Murdoch's ascension to global media magnate. It is Murdoch laid bare, an intimate account of a man using the power of his media empire for his own ends. Riveting, provocative, and insightful, "Good Times, Bad Times" is as relevant today as when it was first written. This ebook features a new preface by the author, in which he discusses the Rupert Murdoch phone-hacking scandal.
