Newspaper journalism is on the way out, writes Robert Cottrell, former foreign correspondent and co-founder of the Browser.
Mourning its demise, Cottrell has picked out four novels and a style guide that “reflect the golden days”.
The list:
The Economist Style Guide
Scoop – Evelyn Waugh
Towards the End of the Morning – Michael Frayn
The Honourable Schoolboy – John le Carré
The Imperfectionists – Tom Rachman
See Cottrell’s post for a full list of the reasons behind his choices.
