Mark FARRELL,
Newspaper
Publisher (1913-2006)
Controversial top man at The Windsor Star and the Montreal Gazette
was never reluctant to skewer sacred cows, but always remained
a stickler for truth and integrity
By Douglas
McARTHUR,
Special to Globe and Mail, Page S11
Toronto -- Mark
FARRELL arrived as publisher of The Windsor Star
in 1969, driving a green Volkswagen Beetle festooned with flower
decals. His young daughters, who put them on, had assured him
they would easily wash off. They didn't, and the splashy foreign
car, in the home of Chrysler Canada, was to become a symbol of
a brash new direction for the previously staid newspaper.
During his four years in Windsor, Mr.
FARRELL gave the Star's
editorial support to the New Democratic Party in the 1972 federal
election, the first time any Canadian newspaper had endorsed
the party, and organized one of the country's first press councils.
As publisher of the Montreal Gazette, from late 1972 to 1977,
he supported language rights for French-speaking Quebeckers and
encouraged an era of award-winning investigative journalism.
Earlier in his career, he supervised the building of Canada's
largest rotogravure printing plant for Standard Publishing in
Montreal, and played a key role in creating two of the most-read
publications in the country's history, Weekend and Perspectives
magazines.
A left-leaning social democrat from his days at McGill University,
Mark FARRELL was never reluctant to skewer sacred cows, but was
a stickler for truth and integrity. He lived with a stammer he
could not control, but never allowed it to hold him back. In
his personal time, he was an avid outdoorsman and expert skier,
a caring family man and a lover of black poodles.
"Mark was every reporter's dream of what a publisher should be,"
says Tim Creery, editorial page editor of the Montreal Gazette
under Mr. FARRELL. "He stood up to advertising and political
pressure on editorial content. He applauded vigorous and deep-digging
reporting. He encouraged outspoken editorials favouring the interests
of ordinary people and denouncing privilege."
The second of four sons of Montreal stockbroker Gerald
FARRELL
and the former Eileen
O'MEARA,
Mark▲
FARRELL was born into money.
When he was 6, his father died. The boy attended Selwyn House,
a private school in Montreal for a few years until his mother
moved the family to England, where he and two brothers went to
Ampleforth College, a prestigious Catholic boys' boarding school
that their father had attended. In his unpublished memoirs, written
with Mr. Creery's assistance, Mr.
FARRELL described being the
only boy since the school started to receive a caning of 13 strokes.
Returning to Canada, he earned a commerce degree at McGill University,
yet the only diploma he ever posted on his office wall was from
a six-week sociology course at Moscow University's American Institute.
During the Depression, he turned a $5,000 inheritance into nearly
$20,000 on the stock market and then lost it all. At the same
time, he worked for free as managing editor of Canadian Forum,
a left-leaning intellectual magazine, and as treasurer of the
Ontario branch of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, the
predecessor of the New Democratic Party.
After becoming a chartered accountant, he was hired as promotion
manager at Montreal Standard Publishing Co. He married his first
wife, Joanna
WRIGHT, on the eve of the Second World War, but
was turned down by the military because of his stammer. Instead,
he worked for the British Air Commission in New York, where he
became internal auditor and signed cheques totalling $1.5-billion
for British purchases of U.S. aircraft and supplies. Returning
to Standard Publishing, he became a director and the right-hand
man of John McConnell,
son of owner J.W. McConnell.
At Standard, he supervised the construction of a state-of-the-art
rotogravure printing plant and helped found Weekend and Perspectives,
weekly English and French magazines that were carried in Saturday
editions of newspapers across the country. Their combined circulation
of 2.5-million was a Canadian record.
After separating from his first wife in the late 1940s, Mr.
FARRELL
married Florence
WALL, a Weekend employee, in 1952. In 1969,
Mr. FARRELL was hired to run The Windsor Star after two members
of the owning
GRAYBIEL family died in quick succession. According
to his memoirs, he accepted the offer, which he had previously
turned down, after being squeezed out in a power struggle at
Standard Publishing. Told to act as through he owned The Windsor
Star, he redesigned its layout, sponsored a regular broadcast
on U.S. Public Television in Detroit to tell Americans about
Canada, and made Peter
BENESH, an immigrant from Czechoslovakia,
a member of the editorial board at the age of 23. Mr.
BENESH
recalls his boss regularly quoting H.L. Mencken's adage: "A journalist's
job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable."
While at the Star in 1971, Mr.
FARRELL set up a press council
to consider local complaints. It became the model for the Ontario
Press Council. He also led a successful editorial campaign to
bring Windsor's U.S.-owned
CKLW radio station into Canadian hands,
says Hugh NANGLE, who served under Mr.
FARRELL on the editorial
boards in both Windsor and Montreal. In 1972, the Southam newspaper
chain transferred Mr.
FARRELL to Montreal.
Under Mr. FARRELL,
The
Windsor
Star was the first large daily
to support the New Democratic Party in a federal election, and
the first to call for legalization of marijuana and abortion,
Mr. NANGLE says. Mr.
FARRELL also curtailed the influence of
the Liberal Party over The Windsor Star and of the Conservative
Party over the Gazette, he says. Under Mr.
FARRELL, the Gazette
supported the aspirations of Quebec nationalists, but not calls
for separation.
"He was a patrician and had the air of a patrician," says Henry
Aubin, an award-winning investigative reporter under Mr.
FARRELL
and now a Gazette columnist. "He could take on the anglo establishment
as one of their own on equal terms. He could have been one of
the boys." Mr. Aubin credits Mr.
FARRELL with supporting investigative
reporting and helping the staff set up a code of ethics for reporters.
Mr. FARRELL had a showdown with The Windsor Star's mechanical
unions in 1970, when they staged a two-week sit-in strike in
the pressroom. According to James
BRUCE, then assistant city
editor and later the Star's editor and publisher, Mr.
FARRELL
staged a sit-in of his own by staying in his office. Publication
resumed in two weeks, thanks to a federal labour mediator.
A Time magazine article from the mid-seventies called the Gazette
"Canada's most improved newspaper," thanks to Mr.
FARRELL and
his predecessor, Denis Harvey. It credited Mr.
FARRELL with increasing
the news budget by 40 per cent in two years, adding editorial
staff and hiring managing editor Lindsay Crysler, who launched
an era of investigative journalism, and Tim Creery, who gave
the editorial and op-ed pages "some bite."
Terry Mosher, the Gazette's editorial cartoonist who signs his
drawings Aislin, says Mr.
FARRELL gave permission for him to
run some controversial pieces early in his career. One of the
Queen resulted in the publication of three days of angry letters
from readers. Mr.
FARRELL left the Gazette in 1977, moving with
his wife to a ski property in Stowe, Vt. Later, they moved to
Morrisville, Vt. In his retirement, he continued his passion
for downhill skiing until 85. His greatest thrill came in 1970,
when he did Switzerland's Haute Route, a hut-to-hut trek that
involves downhill and cross-country skiing and climbing. Mr.
FARRELL
talked about social issues even at home, says Willa
FARRELL,
the youngest of his three daughters. When she was a child, she
recalls him lamenting that the newspaper industry was built on
the child labour of carrier boys.
Norman Redlich, a former dean of law at New York University and
a long-time vacation friend in Vermont, says Mr.
FARRELL once
told him that the U.S. First Amendment protecting freedom of
the press is an old whore that should be retired. "His point
was: If you can't verify it, don't print it," Mr. Redlich says.
"I've always thought it was an excellent thing for a publisher
to say."
Mark FARRELL was born in Montreal on January 22, 1913.
He died of pneumonia on April 6, 2006, in Morrisville, Vt. He
was 93. He is survived by his wife, Florence, and their daughters
Fiona FARRELL and Willa
FARRELL.
He also leaves Sally
KININMONTH, his daughter from his marriage
to Joanna WRIGHT, several grandchildren and his brother, Charles.
An infant son, Mark, died after one day in 1957.
