Biography
[ edit ]
Born in Gravesend , Bert Gunn worked as a reporter for the Kent Messenger , and then the Straits Times in Singapore . He returned to the UK to work at the Manchester Evening News , then the London Evening News and the Evening Standard . He also married, and had two sons: Thom Gunn , later a poet, and Ander Gunn , later a photographer.[1]
In 1936, Gunn became the first northern editor of the Daily Express , then in 1943 became managing editor. He wrote the headline "It's That Man Again ", referring to Hitler , later to become the title of a popular radio show.[1]
Gunn became editor of the Evening Standard in 1944, but owner Lord Beaverbrook disagreed with his plans to adopt a more populist approach, and Gunn left in 1952. Gunn also revealed that Labour Party MP Garry Allighan was leaking stories to the newspaper, following which Allighan resigned.[1]
In 1953, Gunn joined the Daily Sketch as its editor, and doubled its circulation in six years.[1] In 1958–1959, he was the President of the Institute of Journalists .[2] He moved to edit the Sunday Dispatch in 1959, but this was merged with the Sunday Express in 1961 and Gunn resigned from Associated Newspapers in 1962.[1]
