Overview
The phone hacking at the News of the World - and more broadly - showed how desperate and driven was the search by popular newspapers in the UK for exclusive information on the private lives, both of the famous and of ordinary people caught up in a media frenzy. It revealed both widespread criminality and, on the part of the senior executives of the holding company News International, an unhealthy relationship with senior politicians, in which they were cowed into acquiescence with the group's objectives and policies in order to retain their support. But this was only one, criminal but logical, extension of the need for secrets. Scandal reveals the nature of one of the major trends of our time, and tells the stories of those laying down the lines of its development.Available at no cost to registered users on the RISJ website.
