Confessions of a Norfolk Newshound

The sequel to Skipper's best-selling Confessions of a Country Boy, this is a hugely entertaining account of his early career in journalism from 1961 to 1979.

Journalism in the '60s and '70s was still a world of epic lunch hours, carbon paper, hot metal and eccentric bosses—and one of camaraderie, dedication and endless hours spent in pursuit of good quarry and copy. Keith Skipper recalls those pre-computer days with sly humor and a sharp ear for rich dialogue.
