Afterlife: Top Newsman Sends Back His Report

The true story of how Britain’s Greatest Journalist Died and Sent Back a Concisely Written News Story from ‘The Other Side’

If you could send a person into the Afterlife to explore the environment of “The Other Side” and report back with a well-written, clear, concise and informative article, the best choice might be a seasoned investigative journalist.

Well, that’s exactly what happened in 1912.

That was the year when Britain’s greatest living journalist bought a ticket in England to sail to New York City.

The ship was the Titanic.

At the time, W.T. Stead was arguably the top newspaperman in Europe. In his 2020 book, University of Cambridge Professor Duncan Ball called W.T. “the most famous journalist in the British Empire.”

W.T. Stead is credited with nothing less than inventing investigative journalism.

His long-form deeply researched stories brought profound changes to British government and society. He exposed corruption and reported on the unseemly underbelly of his nation.
