Noteworthy NME journalists

Bob Geldof of the Boomtown Rats and Live Aid fame and Chrissie Hynde, who went on to form The Pretenders, began as journalists on NME as did film director Michael Winner. Paul Morley, founder of ZTT Records (the record label of Frankie Goes to Hollywood), and more recently something of a media pundit, also began his journalistic career writing for the NME during the late 1970s. Other notable individuals that wrote for the paper during this period included 'X Moore' (a socialist writer and also member of the band The Redskins), Steven Wells (who was formerly a ranting poet under the name Seething Wells), Adrian Thrills and Ian Penman. Stuart Cosgrove is a respected documentary maker.
