Michael Christiansen

Michael Christiansen

Michael Christiansen (1926 or 1927–15 June 1984) was a British newspaper editor.

The son of Arthur Christiansen, editor of the Daily Express, Michael followed his father into journalism.[1] He worked first at the Daily Mail, then in 1956 became Deputy Subeditor of the Daily Mirror.[2] He rose to become Assistant Editor, and in 1962 gave John Pilger his first job in Britain, on the basis that he supposed he would be good at cricket.[3]

In 1963, Christiansen was appointed as Editor of the Sunday Mirror, remaining in post until he became Deputy Editor of the Daily Mirror in 1972, then Editor in 1974.[2] He suffered a stroke the following year, forcing him to retire. In later life, he ran a bookshop in Chelmsford.[1]
