Chris Horrie is a journalist and writer specialising in investigative journalism, finance and profiles of major public figures. He also slums it as a lecturer. Haven't heard of him? Nope, me neither.
As a freelance feature writer his work can be found in the following British newspapers: The Independent, Independent on Sunday, Evening Standard, Mail on Sunday, The Observer, New Statesman, The Guardian. But not too often as he is a bit shit.
He also has had many other roles in the media industry. Fuck knows what these are, but let us invoke the spirit of H.R. Mencken and what he thought about those who teach.
Horrie is also the author/co-author of many major books, usually concerning some bollocks or other, viewed through the prism of the sort of prat who works in media these days:
