Les Hinton in conversation with the London Press Club

Les Hinton will be speaking about his life, career, and his new memoir The Bootle Boy: an untidy life in news with the London Press Club at the Hyatt Regency London — The Churchill on Wednesday 30 May.

When Les Hinton first fulfils his schoolboy dream of working on Fleet Street, it is still a place awash in warm beer, black ink, fag ash, and hot metal. Fifty-two years after being sent out to buy a sandwich for his first boss, one Rupert Murdoch, when Les finally leaves Murdoch’s employment in 2011, the business of news has been turned upside down, in a tumble of social and technological change. Filled with scintillating stories of half a century of Murdoch and news revolutions, The Bootle Boy is one of the defining media memoirs of our age.

Tickets to this event are £10, or £5 to London Press Club members,via Eventbrite.
