Ages ago I heard a book serialized on the radio. It was about a local newspaper office in Norfolk and one of the reporters or the editor. I know that's not much to go on but can anyone suggest what it might be called?

"The Norfolk Mystery?

Mr"

No, it's set in the sixties or seventies and there was no murdering. I think it might have been autobiographical.

Some search engines are more specialized for book searches

Ink in my Blood: My half century in newspapers by Neil Haverson

My google foo indicates it was serialized on the radio (or some of his work was) and it is about Newspapers offices in Norfolk.

It may or may not be right but it does fit the limited description you gave. Hope it's the one, good luck.

Good idea. It would have been Radio four. It was probably in the nineties but I'm sure they have records going back to the bronze age.

If it isn't Ink in My Blood as suggested I'll have to do that of it's possible. It was the 90s or early 00s.
