Arthur Henry Mann CH (7 July 1876 – 23 July 1972) was a British newspaper journalist, who edited the Yorkshire Post from 1919 to 1939, where he was known for his "resolute independence" and helped precipitate the crisis leading to the Abdication of Edward VIII by publishing criticism of the King.
[1] Born in Warwick, Mann began his career with the Western Mail in Cardiff.
[1] He opposed Neville Chamberlain's policy of appeasement, with the aid of his leader writer Charles Tower who had lived in Berlin.
[1][2] As an editor, according to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, he was not a learned man and did not write much himself, but he had a good knowledge of world affairs and a shrewd nose for the newsworthy, as well as being a good judge of people.
[2] He resigned from The Yorkshire Post in 1939 following repeated run-ins with the owners, when they decided to merge the paper with the Leeds Mercury.
