The chief : the life of Lord Northcliffe
Roberts, Andrew, 1963-2023
Book
Alfred Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Northcliffe (1865-1922), was the greatest press magnate in history and a genius who invented modern popular journalism. By the time of his tragically early death at 57 in August 1922, Northcliffe had founded the Daily Mail and Daily Mirror, and had also owned The Times and the Observer. At one point he owned two-thirds of all the titles on Fleet Street. He was a tough and uncompromising businessman, but in 'The Chief', Andrew Roberts puts his ruthlessness and wilfulness in the overall context of a life of visionary business skill, journalistic brilliance, distinguished wartime public service and heartfelt patriotism.
