Description
Panic as Man Burns Crumpets is a humorous and poignant account of local newspapers over the past twenty-five years. The author's experiences working for his local paper are full of embarrassing moments, serious stories, and a glimpse into a dying industry.
From urinating in the garden of the President of the Mothers' Union to being photographed naked, the author shares his most memorable - and cringe-worthy - moments on the job. Meanwhile, he also delves into more serious topics like mass shootings, devastating floods, and the search for Madeleine McCann.
This book is a love letter to local journalism, told with verve and tenderness. It's a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the world of provincial newspapers and the people who work tirelessly behind the scenes to bring them to life.
