The Editor Regrets
Author: Cecil Edwards
Hardcover with dust jacket. Book in good condition.
Cecil Edwards’s The Editor Regrets (1972) is a candid, behind‑the‑scenes memoir that demystifies the editor’s desk at a major metropolitan daily newspaper in Melbourne. Edwards draws readers into the frenetic newsroom environment, revealing the constant flood of copy, tight deadlines, and split‑second judgment calls that define the role . He explores questions such as: “Does the editor really ‘run’ the paper? Does anyone ‘run’ the editor? Is his the Final word?” and provides a clear-sighted account of how editorial decisions are shaped by time, space, and institutional pressures. With grounded insight and professional poise, Edwards delivers an illuminating portrait of journalism in action.
