Off the Shelf: Late Night Final?

Tue 24 September, 1:00pm 45 minutes

Clare Jenkins has interviewed fellow journalists about their experiences of working for the Sheffield Star & Telegraph over the past 60 years.

This illustrated talk explores a world of noisy, smoke-filled newsrooms with clattering typewriters, tea ladies, daily columnists, street newspaper sellers.

A world of police calls, murders and traffic accidents, weddings and funerals, council meetings and courts, the Battle of Orgreave and the Hillsborough tragedy.

A world where local newspapers were at the very heart of their community. Clare Jenkins is a former Radio 4 programme-maker and Sheffield Newspapers journalist and will feature alongside Stephen McClarence, a former Star and Yorkshire Post columnist turned Times and Telegraph travel writer.
