Arthur Christiansen quotes
Good stories flow like honey. Bad stories stick in the craw. A bad story? One that cannot be absorbed on the first time of reading.
I saw their flat sallow faces, their Sunday-best clothes, their curious capacity for enjoying themselves without displaying any sign of emotion. I saw them all as a challenge.
It was my job to interest them in everything that was happening, to make the arrival of the Daily Express each morning an event, to show them the world outside Bolton and Bacup, to give them courage and confidence to overcome the drabness of their lives.
News, news, news-that is what we want. You cannot beat news in a newspaper.
We never waste space saying, "On the one hand." We just state an opinion in a Godlike voice.
