Reynolds, Neil

Neil Reynolds dropped out of high school to work for a newspaper, and over a long career became one of the great editors of newspapers in Canada. He was editor of the "Kingston Whig-Standard", the New Brunswick "Telegraph-Journal", and Saint John "Times-Globe", the "Ottawa Citizen", and the "Vancouver Sun". He was an inspiring and courageous leader in a newsroom. I know this to be true because I worked in some of his newsrooms, where he told us that we were producing the literature of the people. At the end of his career, he shared his time between Ottawa and New Brunswick, as editor-at-large
