Russell Reid

Newspaper editor; Born January 27, 1936; Died March 15, 2009. Russell Reid, who has died aged 73, belonged to a bygone era of newspapers, when local lads could rise slowly through the ranks to become legendary editors of million-selling papers. In Reid's case that paper was the Sunday Post, where that ethos lingered longer than most.
