One of my favourite articles in this issue, with its Irish cover, is Stephen de la Bédoyère’s elegiac account of growing up when his father, Michael, was editor of the Catholic Herald. Michael stepped down in 1962, having succeeded Irish newspaper entrepreneur Charles Diamond – who founded the Herald in 1888 and edited the weekly paper (as it was then) until his death in 1934. So from 1888 to 1962, the Herald only had two editors, both with Irish roots. Michael’s father was an Irish-French nobleman and his previous job had been as deputy editor of the Dublin Review.
