The Phone Hacking Scandal: Journalism on Trial Hackgate is the
biggest scandal to engulf the mainstream press in decades. What
started as a small bush fire News of the World royal editor Clive
Goodman and his private detective friend Glenn 'Trigger' Mulcaire
being detained at Her Majesty's pleasure in 2007 for hacking
illegally into the phones of the royal family and others - has
become a forest fire destroying countless reputations (and the NoW
itself) in its wake. The few hacked by NI in 2007 became nearly
6,000 in late 2011. Hackgate has also thrown the spotlight on the
somewhat excessively close ties between the press, police and
political elite - and raised countless questions about media
standards and regulation. As Lord Leveson continues his inquiry
into the culture, practice and ethics of the press, The Phone
Hacking Scandal: Journalism On Trial (edited by Richard Lance
Keeble and John Mair) brings together an extraordinary range of
academics, journalists and media activists to provide
bang-up-to-date, informed and lively commentary on the controversy:
Brian Cathcart on 'The Press, the Leveson Inquiry and the Hacked
Off Campaign' Glenda Cooper on 'Facing up to the Ethical Issues
surrounding Facebook Use' Jackie Newton and Sallyann Duncan on
'Exploring the Ethics of Death Reporting in the Social Media Age'
Richard Peppiatt on 'The Story Factory: Infotainment and the
Tabloid Newsroom' Alan Rusbridger on how Hackgate 'reveals failure
of normal checks and balances to hold power to account' John
Tulloch on 'Oiling a Very Special Relationship: Journalists,
Bribery and the Detective Police' Other contributors include Chris
Atkins, Steven Barnett, Patrick Barrow, Teodora Beleaga, Daniel
Bennett, Damian Paul Carney, the Co-ordinating Committee for Media
Reform, Tim Crook, Sean Dodson, Chris Frost, Ivor Gaber, Tony
