A Hecht of a Reporter
- Share via
As a reporter who worked for, under and with Tom Pryor at Daily Variety years ago, I enthusiastically endorse Charles Champlin’s kind words about him (“The Daily Variety in Newsman’s Life,” Oct. 6). Pryor was indeed a “hard taskmaster”--and one who insisted that Variety’s readers receive the best, most accurate, hardest-punching stories.
Pryor personifies what Ben Hecht etched in “The Front Page”: Don’t call me a journalist, I’m a reporter!
