Do the great British public get the press the "Red Tops" think they
deserve? Or are the tabloids' pious protestations of public
interest really just a self-serving attempt to halt declining
circulation? Peter Burden examines the "News of the World's"
performance--with its Fake Sheikh and the illegal mobile phone
tapping, which lead to a jail sentence for royal reporter Clive
Goodman and the resignation of the editor. Burden also highlights
the papers hypocrisy when Mazher Mahmood, the Fake Sheikh, was
himself unmasked. This is a book for everyone concerned about
standards in British tabloid journalism and people who care about
privacy rights and the debate over serving the Public Interest
versus the interest of the public.
