Here's an example using the scrpage2 package from the KOMA-Script bundle.

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage[nouppercase,headsepline,footsepline,plainfootsepline]{scrpage2}
\automark{section}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\clearscrheadfoot
\ihead{(Document title)}
\ofoot[\pagemark]{\pagemark}% Optional argument controls chapter-starting pages
\ifoot[(Author) -- \headmark]{(Author) -- \headmark}

\renewcommand*{\footfont}{\normalfont\slshape}

\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}

\blinddocument

\end{document}

EDIT: Used the \automark command in order to display section headings.
