Tina Brown husband: Who was Harold Evans?

As a journalist, one of Harry Evans’s strengths was his knowledge of power: who held it, why they held it, and, most importantly, how they utilized it.

In the 1960s, as editor of The Northern Echo in Darlington, he helped convert the false conviction of a man condemned for murder into a movement that culminated in the abolition of the death penalty.

He forced an international reckoning with Big Pharma as editor of The Sunday Times in the 1970s, taking on drugmakers who downplayed the severe health hazards of the sedative thalidomide.
