William Hickey (columnist)
"William Hickey" is the pseudonymous byline of a gossip column published in the British newspaper, the ''Daily Express''. It was named for the eighteenth-century diarist William Hickey.
The column was first established by Tom Driberg in May 1933.〔( Martin Stannard, ''Evelyn Waugh: the critical heritage'', Psychology Press, 1997, p,226 )〕 An existing gossip column was relaunched following the intervention of the ''Expresss proprietor Lord Beaverbrook. It was titled "These Names Make News".〔Wheen (2001), ''The Soul of Indiscretion: Tom Driberg, Poet, Philanderer, Legislator and Outlaw''. London: Fourth Estate. pp. 79–81〕 Driberg described the new feature as "...an intimate biographical column about ... men and women who matter. Artists, statesmen, airmen, writers, financiers, explorers..." Historian David Kynaston calls Driberg the "founder of the modern gossip column",〔Kynaston (2007), ''Austerity Britain 1945–51'', London: Bloomsbury Publishing, p. 141〕 which moved away from genteel chit-chat towards commentary on social and political issues. The tone of the column was described by biographer Richard Davenport-Hines as "wry, compassionate, and brimm() with ... open-minded intelligence".〔Davenport-Hines, Richard (2004). "Tom Driberg". Oxford Dictionary of National Biography online edition. Retrieved 12 February 2010.(subscription required)〕 Driberg continued to write the column until 1943.〔( BBC News, ''Driberg always under suspicion'', 13 September 1999 )〕
The column has been written by numerous anonymous journalists over the decades. In the 1960s it was written by columnist Nigel Dempster.
