Mark Law

Mark Alexander Law (born November 1944) is a British journalist and author. He lives in London.

Mark Law is a former Fleet Street journalist. He is the author of The Pyjama Game, A Journey Into Judo, published in June 2007 by Aurum Press, for which he was named as Best New Writer in the 2008 British Sports Book Awards. The book was published in the US under the title Falling Hard: A Journey Into The World Of Judo.

He devised and launched The First Post after being asked by a group of private investors to create a publication for the UK and US which ranged from non-partisan comment pieces on international politics and social affairs through arts and sport to viral gags and animation. The daily online news magazine was launched under his editorship in 2005. In 2007 the site was singled out for special commendation in the Best Editorial Team category of the 2007 Awards given by the Association of Online Publishers. The venture was bought by Felix Dennis in 2008. Mark Law edited The First Post until the Autumn of 2009. In October 2011 the site was incorporated into Dennis Publishing’s The Week.
