Gordon Spears: Reporter, Critic

<jats:p> Dick MacDonald, a freelance journalist-writer, teacher at Humber College, research editor for the Royal Commission on Newspapers, and the founder of Content magazine, has assembled what turns out to be more than just a collection of columns by the late Borden Spears. It is indeed a book on Spears, the late in-house ombudsman of the Toronto Star and a consultant both to the Davey Commission and the Kent Commission. It is also a biography and a book that presents two of Spears' seminal speeches on the role and responsiblity of the press. </jats:p>
