Paper Dreams: Story of the "Independent" and the "Independent on Sunday" by One of the Founding Fathers by Stephen Glover
The story of the founding of the "Independent" and "Independent On Sunday" - a story of professional journalism, but also an account of broken friendships and internecine wars within the company. Andreas Whittham Smith, Matthew Symonds and Stephen Glover started the paper in 1986, and it became a leading business success of the 1980s, but in June 1991, Glover resigned after long internal disputes. This book tells the inside story, told by Stephen Glover. This Penguin edition includes a last chapter bringing the story up-to-date, including the recent manoeuvering between the various predators.
