Timeline

1938

Hugo John Smelter Young (13 October 1938 – 22 September 2003) was a British journalist and columnist and senior political commentator at The Guardian.

1961

Born in Sheffield into an old recusant Roman Catholic family, he was head boy at Ampleforth College in North Yorkshire during his youth; later, he read law at Balliol College, Oxford, and worked for the Yorkshire Post in Leeds from 1961.

1963

In 1963, he spent a year as a Harkness Fellow in the United States and he spent the next year working as a congressional fellow.

1965

In 1965, Young returned to the United Kingdom.

He was recruited by Denis Hamilton of The Sunday Times.

1973

From 1973–84, he was also the paper's political editor.

He established a Sunday column, "Inside Politics", that made him famous.

1977

In his second year there, he became chief leader writer, a position he kept until 1977.

1981

Beginning in 1981, he also held the position of joint deputy editor.

However, Young's relationship with The Sunday Times cooled notably when Rupert Murdoch took over the paper in 1981.

1983

The conflict culminated in a series of battles with editor Andrew Neil, particularly over the US invasion of Grenada in 1983.

1984

This ultimately led to Young's leaving The Sunday Times and joining The Guardian in 1984.

Young continued to write a twice-weekly political column at The Guardian until his death.

1989

He wrote a critical biography of the latter, One of Us (1989), in addition to a very critical article that he wrote two weeks before his death but which was not published until after Thatcher's death, nearly ten years after his own.

From 1989 onward, Young was the chairman of the Scott Trust, which owns The Guardian and other news media, and helped the paper through important developments such as the purchase of The Observer.

His papers are held at the Guardian News & Media Archive in London.

There is now an annual Hugo Young Lecture, organised by The Guardian in Young's memory.

Among the notable figures to have delivered it are David Cameron, Nick Clegg, Ed Miliband, Marjorie Scardino and Alex Salmond.

Young married twice.

His first wife, Helen Mason, died in 1989 of lung cancer.

They had three daughters, including the film director Emily Young, and one son.

1990

He remarried in 1990, this time to American artist Lucy Waring.

Young died at the age of 64 of colon cancer, and was buried on the west side of Highgate Cemetery.

1998

He wrote other books, including This Blessed Plot: Britain and Europe from Churchill to Blair, which was published in 1998.

2003

Young was a strong proponent of European integration, and sharply expressed his disappointment with the British government's eurosceptic politics in his columns, including Prime Minister Tony Blair's decision to side with George W. Bush instead of his EU partners in the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Despite these differences, Young remained on good terms with senior ministers, including Tony Blair and Margaret Thatcher.
