My Life in the News

About My Life in the News

Journalist and editor Michael Clayton worked his way up from local newspaper to BBC war correspondent, with radio and magazine experience inbetween. From working at the sharp end of the action in Vietnam, to the violence of the Troubles in Belfast and the tragedy of the East Pakistan revolt, Clayton is well placed to compare the varying challenges of journalism on different media platforms. The rivalry between the BBC and ITV, the bravery of war cameramen, dealing with corrupt officials on assignments, the TV preference for close-to-the action film as opposed to insightful reports of the effects of conflict: Clayton experienced it all. His insights into the ethos of the BBC, the colourful characters he reported and filmed alongside, and his resulting views of humanity, war and crime - Clayton's journalism autobiography is honest, wry and full of insight.
