Following the story wherever it goes can take you to some unexpected places
Wokelore is a thought-provoking collection of more than fifty articles, essays and stories you won’t find anywhere else. The first book from the independent and fearless newspaper Byline Times, it transports you from 1970s Europe to Putin’s Russia, from the days of empire in Kenya to Brexit Britain, shedding light on America’s political crisis and exposing the UK’s disastrous handling of COVID-19.
The work collected here – from an impressive range of writers including Anthony Barnett, Otto English, Misha Glenny, Bonnie Greer, Salena Godden, Peter Oborne and Musa Okwonga – explores race, identity, disinformation, populism, the state of journalism, threats to our democracy and more, each piece offering a fresh take and new ideas.
Hardeep Matharu is a journalist and editor of Byline Times, based in South London. With a decade’s worth of experience working across local, national and independent media, Hardeep learnt her craft at a local newspaper, the Epsom Guardian, where she was awarded for her 'forward-thinking attitude' and stories on issues that were a 'perfect example of why local papers matter' by the National Council for the Training of Journalists. The London-born daughter of immigrants from Kenya and India, Hardeep completed a Law degree at Cambridge University before entering journalism, and is passionate about bringing investigatory, thought-provoking and diverse reporting to the British media.
