Stephen Henighan’s feature review of Philip Agee’s Inside the Company: CIA Diary was published in the Ottawa Citizen newspaper in 1975, when he was fourteen years old. It was his third published article, and the beginning of an association with the Citizen that continued throughout his high school years. Subsequently, Stephen has been reviewer, Small Presses columnist and an occasional foreign correspondent for the Montreal Gazette newspaper, has reviewed intermittently for The Globe and Mail, and has contributed articles to various other newspapers and magazines. He has always enjoyed the demands of journalism: the need to be entertaining and clear, the challenge of keeping within an assigned word-limit, the commitment to write to a deadline, and the opportunity to communicate with a wide audience.
