| 释义 |
"William Hickey" is the pseudonymous byline of a gossip column published in the Daily Express, a British newspaper. It was named after the eighteenth-century diarist William Hickey. The column was first established by Tom Driberg in May 1933.[1] An existing gossip column was relaunched following the intervention of the Expresss proprietor Lord Beaverbrook. It was titled "These Names Make News".[2] Driberg described the new feature as "...an intimate biographical column about ... men and women who matter. Artists, statesmen, airmen, writers, financiers, explorers..."[3] Historian David Kynaston calls Driberg the "founder of the modern gossip column",[4] 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[ing] with ... open-minded intelligence".[5] Driberg continued to write the column until 1943.[6] The column has been written by numerous anonymous journalists over the decades. In the 1960s it was written by columnist Nigel Dempster.
