Storied British Journalist Jeffrey Blyth Passes Away at Age 87
Jeffrey Blyth came over to New York from England as chief U.S. correspondent for The Daily Mail in 1957. A decade later, he began a long association with another UK newspaper, the Press Gazette, as a weekly columnist. But it all started rather inauspiciously:
Originally because it was feared the Mail might object, he contributed anonymously – or in the beginning using his wife’s byline.
His wife Myrna was working at the time for Family Circle. She would go on to become a longtime editor of Ladies Home Journal and founder of More magazine.
The Press Gazette obituary covers all the bases of Blyth’s illustrious career and also includes a piece he wrote in August of 2008 for the paper’s final weekly print edition.
