Christopher Ward (journalist)
Christopher Ward was a British author, journalist, editor, and publisher. He was also the grandson and biographer of Jock Hume, a violinist who died in the sinking of the RMS ''Titanic'' and one of the members of the band which continued playing while the ship sank.
==Career==
Ward began his career as a journalist in 1959 working at local newspapers, the ''Driffield Times'' and the ''Newcastle Evening Chronicle''. He then moved to national daily, the ''Daily Mirror'', in 1963 where he worked as a reporter, columnist and sub-editor before becoming assistant editor at the ''Mirror'' and its sister paper the ''Sunday Mirror'' in 1976. After five years in this position, Ward left the ''Mirror'' in 1981 to become editor at the ''Daily Express'', a national daily newspaper, at age 38. He remained at the ''Express'' for two years, before leaving in 1983 to jointly found Redwood magazine publishers with Christopher Curry and Michael Potter.
Between 2002 and 2008, Ward was UK chairman of the World Wide Fund for Nature.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wwf.org.uk/what_we_do/about_us/annual_review/annual_review_archive/annual_review_2008/our_vision_for_the_future/wwf_uk_chairman_retires2.cfm )〕
His book, ''And the Band Played On: The Titanic Violinist and the Glovemaker: A True Story of Love, Loss and Betrayal'' (2011), became a ''Sunday Times'' bestseller and was made into a documentary for the Discovery Channel titled, ''Titanic: The Aftermath''. The book details the story of Ward's grandfather, Jock Hume, a violinist who died in the sinking of the RMS ''Titanic'' and one of the members of the band which continued playing while the ship sank.
