From The Editor's Chair
Peter Barron was born in Saltburn, and raised in Middlesbrough. He joined The Northern Echo as a reporter in 1984, rising to become the paper's editor in January 1999. | No need for the f-word | | 10:20am Monday 12th May 2008 | |
AT the risk of being branded the new Mary
Whitehouse, I find myself appalled at the
dumbing down of television - and by
Jonathan Ross in particular. |
| England – just going to the wall | | 10:12am Monday 5th May 2008 | |
I DON'T profess to be a football expert. My experience
is confined to playing in midfield for St
Peter's school team in South Bank in the 1970s
and as the much-maligned goalkeeper for The
Northern Echo's Sunday morning team for much
of the 1990s. |
| Time to draw the line | | 10:29am Monday 28th April 2008 | |
IT'S fair to say that my recent column about Patientline,
the private company providing television
and telephone services in hospitals, has

| Boring Boris fails the test | | 10:02am Monday 14th April 2008 | |
WHEN I discovered that I'd be sitting at the

| Losing my patience | | 10:05am Monday 7th April 2008 | |
BEING in hospital is never a pleasant experience,
but I am full of admiration for
those who work so hard to make life more
comfortable and dignified for patients. |
| Exposing our high standards | | 10:57am Monday 31st March 2008 | |
WE are not in the habit at The Northern
Echo of publishing photographs of naked
people, although it's not easy to avoid it
when thousands of volunteers line up starkers in
the middle of Newcastle in the name of art. |
| A word of advice, Heather | | 10:17am Monday 24th March 2008 | | WHEN it comes to twisting the knife, the national
tabloids do it without blinking. And
Heather Mills set herself up as the perfect
target during her court battle for Paul McCartney's
millions. |
| Oh ye of little faith | | 12:19pm Monday 17th March 2008 | | WHEN I was appointed as racing tipster of
the Roman Catholic newspaper, Northern
Cross, there were those who mocked. |
