Harold Matthew Evans is a British-born journalist and writer and the former editor of ‘The Sunday Times’ from 1967 to 1981. Since 2001, Evans has served as editor-at-large of ‘The Week Magazine’ and since 2005, he has been a contributor to ‘The Guardian’ and BBC Radio 4.

Evans became an assistant editor of the Manchester Evening News and won a Harkness Fellowship in 1956-57 for travel and study in the U.S. When he returned, he was appointed editor of the regional daily ‘The Northern Echo’. He became editor of ‘The Sunday Times’ in 1967 and was responsible for the newspaper’s crusading style of investigative reporting which brought to public attention many stories and scandals which were officially denied or ignored. When Rupert Murdoch acquired the company in 1981, Evans was appointed editor but resigned within the year. On leaving, Evans became director of Goldcrest Films and Television.

In 1984, Evans moved to the United States, where he taught at Duke University. He was subsequently appointed editor-in-chief of ‘The Atlantic Monthly Press’ and later became editorial director of ‘U.S. News and World Report’. In 1986 he was the founding editor of ‘Conde Nast Traveler’. Evans was appointed president and publisher of Random House trade group from 1990 to 1997 and editorial director and vice chairman of ‘U.S. News and World Report’, the ‘New York Daily News’, and ‘The Atlantic Monthly’ from 1997 to January 2000, when he resigned to concentrate on writing. Evans was knighted for services to journalism in 2004 and has also written several highly acclaimed books, including ‘The American Century’ (1998) and ‘They Made America’ (2004).
