Summary

You dreamed of being a journalist and the dream has come true, although not everything is as you imagined. You embarrass yourself with a range of celebrities, from John Hurt to Jordan. Your best story is 'The Man With the Pigeon Tattoo'. Your appearance as a hard-hitting columnist on a BBC talk show does not go well. And being photographed naked is only the second most humiliating thing to happen one infamous afternoon. There are serious stories, such as a mass shooting, a devastating flood, and the search for Madeleine McCann. Meanwhile local papers are dying. Your carefully crafted features are read by fewer people than a story about fancy dress for dogs. This is the inside story of local newspapers during the past 25 years, told in a way that's funny, poignant and revealing.
