Since 1803, Australia's newspapers have had a part in curating and distributing our nation's stories second only to conversation. In this epic collection of essays, Robert Pullan, a life-long journalist, tells the lives of the poets, preachers, drunks, gunmen and genius-editors who shaped Australian press history and battled the censorship ogre.

Robert Pullan, born in Kalamunda, WA, worked as a newspaper journalist in Perth, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and New York from 1966 and has freelanced in Sydney from 1979. His books include Guilty Secrets: Free Speech and Defamation in Australia. He taught journalism at the University of Technology, Sydney, Macleay College and Broadmeadows TAFE and served 28 years on the board of the Australian Society of Authors.
