Sir William Robert Richardson (16 January 1909 – 16 January 1986) was a British newspaper editor.[1]
Born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, at the age of 14 Richardson began working for the Co-operative News, serving as editor of the paper from 1937 to 1942. In 1936 he became a sub-editor of Reynold's News, becoming editor in 1942 and serving until the paper's closure in 1967.[1] He later served on the Post Office Users National Council, and wrote several books about trade unionism and the co-operative movement.
