| Zusammenfassung: | A review of author Redmer Yska's book 'Truth: The Rise and Fall of the People's Paper' is presented. Yska urges that the weekly deserves its place in New Zealand press history for its impact on both journalism and New Zealand society as a whole. The author has been thorough in recording colourful and significant episodes in the weekly's life, from the Police Commissioner and the phone-tapping saga of 1953, the Holloway trial of 1959 to the Sutch File stories of the mid-1970s. Review(s) of: Truth: The Rise and Fall of the People's Paper, by Redmer Yska, Nelson: Craig Potton Publishing, 2010, 204 pp. ISBN 9781877517303. Includes references. |
