Publisher: Reaktion Books
The Newsmongers is a captivating exploration of the seedy history of tabloid journalism, spanning from the early printed 'Strange Newes sheets of the sixteenth century to the sensationalism of today's digital age. The narrative weaves through various eras, from the Regency gossip writers to the New York 'yellow journalism battles, the 'sex and sleaze Sun of the 1970s, and the Brexit-backing populism of the Daily Mail to the celebrity-obsessed Mail Online of the 2000s. The book brings to life colorful figures such as Daniel Defoe, Lord Northcliffe, Hugh Cudlipp, Rupert Murdoch, and Robert Maxwell, and delves into their unscrupulous methods, including phone hacking, privacy breaches, and bribery. In the digital era, popular journalism succumbed to 'churnalism, while a certain royal is seeking revenge on the tabloids today.
