When I Stories

Glen Oglaza's 'When I Stories' collects anecdotal memoirs from his decades-long career at ITN and Sky News, offering first-person accounts of pivotal events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the miners' strike, and the Gulf War. The book emphasizes the craft of broadcast journalism, the logistics behind reporting, and the human stories encountered in local and international reporting.

Oglaza mixes reportage with personal reflection on the emotional and social costs of being a frontline journalist, including the drinking culture and the difficulty of maintaining social life.

Written in a lively, conversational style, the memoir provides practical insights for journalism students and an evocative historical record for general readers.

Published in 2024 by Pegasus, it was released alongside a companion volume of additional anecdotes.
