This book by journalist, Barry White is a follow up to his first, On the Record, published in 2014. It contains a selection of articles that appeared on his blog, The Spark between then and 2020.
Much has changed for Barry since 2014 and this is reflected in this book.
In 2016 He completed nine years on the steering committee of the European Federation of Journalists representing the National Union of Journalists.
Sadly, this also brought to an end his solidarity visits to journalists and other media workers, their families and friends in Turkey, many of which are reported in this book.
The same year, after nearly 19 years, he stood down as national organiser for the Campaign for Press and Broadcasting Freedom and despite the best efforts of his successor Josef Davies-Coates, and the CPBF national council, the organisation ran out of money and was forced to close in November 2018.
Barry left Walthamstow in north east London in the summer of 2019 and moved to Settle in North Yorkshire where he is a community activist and secretary of the local climate change group ACE, Action on Climate Emergency Settle and area.
