TRIBUTES have been paid to Mirror legend Stephen White, who has died aged 66 after a short illness.
He worked for the paper for 42 years, rising through the ranks from reporter to northern news editor then assistant editor (regions).
He launched the Mirror's Scottish and Welsh editions and covered stories at home and abroad.
Daily Mirror editor-in-chief Caroline Waterston said: "Steve was a legend in the newsroom, not only for his incredible journalistic skill but for his hard working attitude and dedication.
"He loved to help others and bring out the best in everyone. He will forever be remembered as a true Mirror man." Former Mirror editor Alison Phillips said: "Steve, or 'Stephen' as his mother insisted in bylines, was one of the finest journalists of his generation.
"He lived for stories; either writing them throughout his career at the Mirror or telling them to his delighted audience in the newsroom or the pub.
"He was incredibly loyal, unselfish and hugely supportive to me.
