This would ‘deal with the perception that it fails ... to reflect adequately the diversity of the Church ... in terms not only of theological opinion, but also gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability and social background'.

The authors said the BLM movement ‘provides a particular context to the conclusion of our work and brings into sharp focus the issues of diversity highlighted throughout our report'.

This week, the award-winning historian was invited to celebrate publication of his book with a special centenary lecture at London's Royal Geographical Society (RGS), organised by Viscount and Viscountess Rothermere on behalf of the Harmsworth family.

The trend is another example of how the virus, which has left some 3.6 billion people stuck at home under lockdowns, is upending daily life in ways unthinkable until recently as governments impose social-distancing curbs to stem its spread.

Yet Northcliffe was adamant that the soldiers in the trenches were being betrayed by a lack of proper artillery ammunition. Back in Britain, he was accused of sedition and the Mail was, famously, burned on the floor of the Stock Exchange.

Like all Northcliffe's publications, it catered to popular tastes with punchy news stories — what he called 'surprises' — and was also the first paper with a page that was aimed specifically at women.

He was a serial innovator, not just in his development of new printing methods. He loved fast cars and was a fervent believer in aviation, driving technical advances by offering huge financial prizes for increasingly ambitious air races.

However, his health was failing. In 1921, he embarked on a round-the-world tour and contracted the malignant endocarditis which cost him his sanity and, ultimately, his life. At his funeral in August 1922, more than 7,000 people, many of them war veterans, lined the streets to pay their respects.

Lord Roberts's new biography of Northcliffe, The Chief, is based on unique access to the Harmsworth family archive. It has been widely acclaimed for its uncompromising warts-and-all portrayal of the complex and controversial character who invented popular journalism. Not only did Northcliffe create newspaper giants such as the Daily Mail and the Daily Mirror, he rescued many more, including The Times and The Observer, and, above all, stuck to his own maxim: 'There is a great art in feeling the pulse of the people.'

Other demands, such as the use of convoys and a smaller War Cabinet, would go on to become military orthodoxy. The new Prime Minister, David Lloyd George, duly sent Northcliffe off to the U.S. to rally assistance for the UK. On his return, he ran the ministry For Sale: CNC Lathe Tornos Evo Deco 32/10 – Precision and Power Combined propaganda in enemy countries.

The Mail soon became the best-selling paper in the world, with more than a million copies sold daily. It was fiercely independent, but espoused a Conservative, Unionist and imperialist view of the world.

A century on from the death of 'the greatest newspaperman' in British journalism, the media world gathered this week to hear eminent biographer Andrew Roberts describe the extraordinary life and achievements of Lord Northcliffe, the founder of the Daily Mail.

Introducing the lecture, the fourth Viscount Rothermere, chairman of the Daily Mail, explained how the Northcliffe legacy lives on: 'He has been an inspiration to newspapermen for over a century. He continues to be the soul of our newspaper to this day.'

Having fathered, at 16, an illegitimate son by the family's maid, the young Alfred became a freelance journalist, quickly developing a flair for what readers wanted — as opposed to what editors thought they should be given.

The outbreak of World War I in 1914 underlined the extent of Northcliffe's power and influence. As Britain's war prospects waned, he became convinced that Herbert Asquith was not the man for the job of Prime Minister — and he said so.

It was at the Royal Geographical Society that Lord Northcliffe launched an Anglo-American bid to claim the North Pole in 1894 (it failed, although he did end up with a 43-square-mile patch of ice named 'Alfred Island' in his honour).

He would also shape world history. For, as Lord Roberts acknowledged: 'This was the man who directed much of the conduct of the First World War with ideas that would be used in the Second World War, too.'

Alfred was born in poverty in 1865, the eldest of the 14 children of Alfred and Geraldine Harmsworth (11 of them would reach adulthood). In 1867, the family moved from Dublin to London, where Alfred senior qualified as a barrister.
