Jock Carroll (March 5, 1919 – August 4, 1995) was a Canadian writer, journalist and photographer who worked for the Canadian media, including the Toronto Telegram. History Born in Toronto, Jock Carroll developed a 40-year career as a photojournalist, commencing in the late 1940s. He both took and developed his own photographs from a self-made darkroom and quickly became popular for being able to produce news reports with accompanying photographs. His first published works appeared in such magazines as Saturday Night, Sports Illustrated and Esquire. In 1950, Carroll joined Weekend magazine as a staff writer. He ultimately became the associate editor of the magazine, during the course of his twenty-year association with it. During the Korean War, Carroll was a war correspondent. This experience resulted in the 1955 publication of his first book, Korean Boy, which was the true story of Pak Jong Yong, a boy who fled with his family from North Korea to Pusan, in South Korea. Carroll was able to persuade management at Weekend Magazine to sponsor Pak Jong Yong's university education in Canada. Carroll later became the president of the Canadian War Correspondents Association. In addition to his presidency of the Canadian War Correspondents Association, Carroll was a member of a number of journalist organizations, including the Toronto Men's Press Club, the Authors League of America, the Professional Photographers Association of Canada and the Ontario Sports Writers Association. In 1961, Bottoms Up, Carroll's only novel, was published by Olympia Press. It was reissued by Collectors Publications in 1967. Collectors Publications, similar to Olympia Press, was known for publishing risqué novels. The novel is a satire about the magazine industry, with the heroine based on Marilyn Monroe, whom Carroll had interviewed and photographed in 1952. The book was not accepted for publication in Canada, due to its sexual content. Carroll then approached Maurice Girodias, the owner of Paris-based Olympia Press, who agreed to publish it. When republished in 1964 by Stein and Day as The Shy Photographer, the book was translated into multiple languages and sold half a million copies. Carroll's book, The Death of the Toronto Telegram and Other Newspaper Stories was published in 1971 by Pocket Books Canada, a division of Simon & Schuster. The book includes many anecdotes about the Canadian newspaper business from the 1940s to 1970. Included are interviews with Marilyn Monroe in 1952, writer Arthur Hailey (1966), Elvis Presley (1956), and
