Joining Lateline is Sir Harold Evans, who has been voted the all-time greatest British newspaper editor by his colleagues. His new memoir, My Paper Chase, traces his life from a young northerner who started in newspapers at 16, to his ground-breaking investigative journalism at the Sunday Times through the 70s, his spectacular sacking as editor of The Times by Rupert Murdoch, and his move to the United States. He is now editor-at-large of The Week magazine.
