Summary

In Harold EvansÆs classic memoir, he tells the inside story of Rupert MurdochÆs takeover of the Times of London and MurdochÆs rise to become a global media powerIn 1981, Harold Evans was the editor of one of BritainÆs 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 paperÆs direction, Evans departed amid an international media firestorm.EvansÆs story is a gripping, behind-the-scenes look at MurdochÆs 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.
