Extra, extra! Read all about it! Bill Fairbairn started as a printer's devil in Scotland setting up newspaper headlines by hand 60 years ago. His vagabond reporter years in three continents followed in quick pursuit. This tale outlines some of the people and events he encountered across Canada working for newspapers, radio and magazines. Events took him from teaching journalism on the Indian Reserve, near Kamloops, to reporting the English to French devolution in Montreal and a great deal in between. Sixty years after his printing apprenticeship started his "Devil's Imprint" is here for you to judge. He beseeches you to be gentle with one whose craft took him up a media mountain and down to the more peaceful valley below.
