Herd has also written The March of Journalism, An Intro to Journalism, and `The Newspaper of Tomorrow'. The 7 editors treated here are: Eustace Budgell, editor of *The BEE*, 18th-cent; Dr John Hill, the first columnist; William Hone; William Maginn; Albany Fonblanque (editor of *The Examiner*), James Gordon Bennett (who invented sensational journalism); Nicholas Byrne, editor of Morning Post, murdered. The author writes in the introduction that these are `a series of footnotes to the history of journalism' which he researched for a longer book.
