A former editor of the Chronicle has written a memoir describing the highlights of his 45-year career in journalism.
In his book You Can’t Libel the Dead , Neil Benson tells the inside story of some of the big news events from his time in Newcastle, including the assassination of gangster Viv Graham and the glory days of Kevin Keegan’s Entertainers.
Neil said: "My seven years at Newcastle Chronicle & Journal Ltd in the 1990s was one of the most memorable times in my career. Tyneside is one of the newsiest places in the country and the football club was undergoing an amazing transformation, on and off the field. There was never a dull moment.
