My Mentor: Charles Glass on Peter Jennings
The Independent 26 Jun 06
The first time I ever saw Peter he was wearing a trench coat. It had belonged to his father, who was a venerated Canadian broadcaster. If you were going to make a film about a foreign correspondent you would cast Peter in that trench coat....

Iraqis need people like James Brandon to tell their story
Independent on Sunday 15 Aug 04
The gunmen who kidnapped the British journalist James Brandon from his hotel late on Thursday probably had no idea they would have to release him a few hours later. Nor, I suspect, did James Brandon. The foreigners taken, both by insurgents and by the common criminals who have flourished since the March 2003 US invasion of Iraq, have suffered various...
The first casualty
The Observer 18 Mar 01
IN 1984 I filed a report to ABC News on Israeli death squads in south Lebanon that was never broadcast. My camera crew and I had spent a week travelling the roads of south Lebanon in the tracks of plainclothes assassins whom United Nations soldiers and officials, charity workers, villagers and guerrillas all claimed were locating and shooting individual Lebanese...
Diary - celebrating a fiftieth birthday
The New Statesman 29 Jan 01
The best thing about turning 50 is that you've had time to develop a healthy narcissism. While I tap out these syllables on the first day of my 51st year, waiters at Christopher's new restaurant in Victoria are laying the tables for the guests who will assemble to celebrate my 50th birthday....
When it's OK to kill a hack
The Spectator 05 Feb 00
It's official. Thirty-three journalists died violently in war zones last year. The figure - nine up on the year before - has just been released by the New York based Committee to Protect Journalists. Sierra Leone was the most dangerous destination in 1999: ten reporters were killed there last year. Next on the list was Serbia, where six reporters lost...
Hacks versus flacks: Tales from the depths
Znet 01 Aug 99
The London media world is under fire and taking shelter. Prime Minister Tony Blair's head flack, Alistair Campbell, has challenged the patriotism of the British press. It's as if Sid Blumenthal had questioned the loyalty under fire of the New York Times op-ed writers from Tom Friedman to Bill Safire. There are reminders of America's greatest vice-president Spiro Agnew's denunciations...
Death of our moral guardian: where has journalistic integrity gone?
The New Statesman 07 Jun 99
The demolition men have torn her guts out and ripped away her facade, but her ramparts, pubs on all sides, still stand. For those of us who worked at this madeleine of an empty, building set atop St Andrew's Hill, all that remains is the memory of a national press before the Murdoch quake hit....
