[3] In 1992, Glover helped Richard Ingrams launch The Oldie magazine with fellow journalists Auberon Waugh, Alexander Chancellor, and Patrick Marnham.
[5] In 2004, Glover proposed a new compact upmarket newspaper to be called The World with fellow journalists Francis Wheen and Frank Johnson under the chairmanship of Adam Broadbent, a former managing director of finances at Schroders plc.
[6] The proposed newspaper was loosely modelled on Le Monde in France, and was intended as a response to the dumbing down of some quality titles.
[7] It was reported that Glover and his colleagues sought only £15.4 million to launch The World,[8] less than the budget for The Independent almost 20 years earlier, though this amount was subsequently slightly increased.
Glover is the author of Paper Dreams (1993),[9] an account of the founding of The Independent, and editor of The Penguin Book of Journalism (1999).
