Bill Hagerty (born 23 April 1939) is a British former newspaper editor, now chairman of "British Journalism Review". Born in Ilford,〔Roy Greenslade, ''Press Gang: How Newspapers Make Profits from Propaganda'', p.574〕 Hagerty attended Beal Grammar School, where he developed an interest in journalism, although his headteacher was dismissive of the idea.〔Tim Devlin, "(Education: Do they owe it all to their Alma Mater? )", ''The Independent'', 20 August 1992〕 Despite this, he entered journalism with local newspapers before joining ''Reynolds News'', soon to become the ''Sunday Citizen'', in 1962.〔"(Bill Hagerty )", ''Debretts''〕 He then moved to the ''Daily Sketch'' and then ''Mirror'' group, where he worked for many years that included spells as Assistant Editor of the ''Daily Mirror'', ''Sunday Mirror'' and ''The People''.〔〔"(Bill Hagerty )", London Press Club〕 Hagerty left the ''Mirror'' group in 1985, joining ''Today'', serving as Managing Editor (Features) and, from 1987, editor of ''Sunday Today''. He returned to "Mirror" group to become Deputy Editor of the ''Sunday Mirror'' in 1988, then Deputy Editor and subsequently Acting Editor of the ''Daily Mirror'' in 1990, before becoming Editor of ''The People'' the following year.〔〔 This last move was a complete surprise to Hagerty, who had believed that, already in his fifties, he would not be appointed to the editorship of a major national newspaper.〔 In 1992, following the death of proprietor Robert Maxwell, Hagerty was among many journalists in the company sacked from their editorial posts〔James Lambie, ''The Story of Your Life: A History of the Sporting Life Newspaper'', p.539〕 and took a variety of positions, including theatre and film critic for ''Today'', and subsequently other publications before becoming Theatre Critic of "The Sun". He was appointed Editor of ''British Journalism Review'' in 2002, and Chairman of the journal a decade later. In 2011/12 he was chairman of the Journalists’ Charity, of which he remains a trustee, and is a director of the London Press Club. He edited four volumes of Alastair Campbell's diaries for publication.〔〔 and wrote a centenary history of the "Daily Mirror", ''Read All About It''.
