This is the autobiography of the battling and embattled journalist who--as the editor of the most famous newspaper in the world, the London Times--fought for his paper's editorial freedom against its new owner, international press baron Rupert Murdoch. It is the behind-the-scenes story of fifteen years at the heart of two of the world's greatest newspapers--a remarkable dossier of journalism and politics, of idealism and intrigue. Sir Harold Matthew Evans (28 June 1928 - 23 September 2020) was a British-American journalist and writer. In his career in his native Great Britain, he was editor of The Sunday Times from 1967 to 1981, and its sister title The Times for a year from 1981, before being forced out of the latter post by Rupert Murdoch. He was best known for his campaign at The Sunday Times seeking compensation for mothers who had taken the morning sickness drug thalidomide, which led to their children having severely deformed limbs. In 1984 Evans and his wife Tina Brown moved to the United States where he became an American citizen, retaining dual nationality. He held positions in journalism with U.S. News & World Report, The Atlantic Monthly, and the New York Daily News. In 1986, he founded Condé Nast Traveler. He wrote various books on history and journalism, such as The American Century (1998). In 2000, he retired from positions in journalism to spend more time on his writing. From 2001, he served as editor-at-large of The Week magazine and, from 2005, he was a contributor to The Guardian and BBC Radio 4. Evans was invested as a Knight Bachelor in 2004, for services to journalism. On 13 June 2011, Evans was appointed editor-at-large of the Reuters news agency. From 2013 until 2019, he served as chairman of the European Press Prize jury panel. Good Times, Bad Times is a book, published in 1983, that details Harold Evans' editorship of The Sunday Times and his short-lived editorship of The Times. Written shortly after his departure from The Times, it is particularly critical of the newspaper's owner, Rupert Murdoch. The allegations contained within the book resulted in questions being asked in Parliament. Critics regarded the book as well-written but partisan and were divided as to how convincing they found the arguments it contained. The book was re-issued in 2011 with an updated preface in the wake of the News International phone hacking scandal. Good Times, Bad Times can be thought of as divided into two sections, the good and bad times of the title. For Evans, the good times happened during his editorship of the Sunday Times under The Thomson Corporation. The bad times started in 1981 when News International purchased both the Sunday Times and The Times and Evans was persuaded to leave the Sunday Times in favor of editing The Times. The move was not a happy one and Evans left the paper in 1982. Evans combines a personal record of his editorship of both papers with his philosophy of journalism and a scathing attack on News International, Rupert Murdoch and the Conservative government. The book details the Sunday Times campaign to ensure that the British victims of thalidomide were properly compensated. It also covers the paper's publication of uncensored portions of the diaries of Richard Crossman, a former Labour minister. The paper's reporting of the crash of Turkish Airlines Flight 981 outside Paris in 1974 and the subsequent investigations into its cause are covered, as are the investigations into Kim Philby's spying on his own government as part of the Cambridge Five. Evans also relates his memories of the last days of the Sunday Times under the control of the Thomson Corporation. The book makes a number of accusations against Rupert Murdoch, News International and the Conservative government. Evans suggests that Murdoch disliked him and wished to dispose of his services. Evans as editor of the Sunday Times was in a powerful position. According to Evans, Murdoch offered him the editorship of The Times, a more prestigious position but one where he was unfamiliar with the staff, making him vulnerable and easier to remove from the organization altogether.
