Political journalist and ex-newspaper editor Andrew Marr will be giving a free lecture at the Queen Mary, University of London on Tuesday. Marr is best known for his hand-waving, over-excited style as chief Political Correspondent for the Beeb. He also wrote the excellent "My Trade", a journalist's guide to journalism. "My Trade" was occasionally a bit smug but gave some genuine insight into a what came a cross as a rather squalid, nasty business.He will be speaking on the topic of "History and Journalism" for the University's annual Bagehot lecture. He's always engaging and can probably be relied upon to supply a steady line of entertaining anecdotes at the very least. There's more details about the event here. Tickets can be obtained by e-mailing them at this address. We'll certainly be going along and hope to give a full report next week.
