Kelvin MacKenzie Author

Kelvin MacKenzie is the most famous tabloid newspaperman of all time, with a unique genius for headlines and iconic front pages. He edited Britain's biggest-selling daily newspaper The Sun during its heyday from 1981 to 1993, winning fans and enemies equally with outrageous and often brilliant headlines. Three of his front pages, GOTCHA; UP YOURS, DELORS; and FREDDIE STARR ATE MY HAMSTER were recently voted in the top ten newspaper pages of all time in a TV poll. After leaving The Sun, Kelvin joined Sky TV before becoming Chief Executive of The Wireless Group plc, which owned the national radio station TalkSport and several local stations. After the Wireless Group was bought by Ulster TV, Kelvin, now 59, left to mastermind various business ventures and has returned to his old stomping ground, The Sun, as a star columnist.
