Stephen Glover: The future of the free press will rest on Murdoch making us pay
In a way, one can't blame Gordon Brown for saying that paywalls won't work.
Inside Stephen Glover
Stephen Glover: Press battle lines are reset – but who gets the BBC's vote?
Monday, 12 April 2010
From the moment he was elected Tory leader in December 2005, David Cameron developed a new media strategy.
Stephen Glover: PCC did not prove Liddle got it wrong
Monday, 5 April 2010
Last week the columnist and former Today programme editor, Rod Liddle, was censured by the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) for writing a blog on The Spectator's website in which he claimed that the "overwhelming majority" of violent crime in London was carried out by young Afro-Caribbean men.
Stephen Glover: This paper now has a chance to break even
Monday, 29 March 2010
The Guardian's coverage of last week's sale of the two Independent titles to Alexander Lebedev was characteristically charitable. By that I mean characteristically uncharitable. The paper highlighted Mr Lebedev's past as a former KGB agent, and suggested that the sale of the papers for one pound to such a man was somehow a betrayal of their original values.
Stephen Glover: Giving in to online gagging campaigns is a dangerous move
Monday, 22 March 2010
Eight days ago a cavalcade of motorbikes trundled through the Wiltshire town of Wootton Bassett in aid of charity. They were raising money for Afghan Heroes, which helps service personnel in Afghanistan and bereaved families in Britain.
Stephen Glover: Did this beauty cause us to drop our standards?
Monday, 15 March 2010
The blogosphere is awash with crazy people with made-up stories. Last week, some of them mistakenly claimed that a man called David Calvert is really Jon Venables, one of the killers of James Bulger. More than 2,000 people joined a group determined to track him down. Mr Calvert was wrongly accused of being a rapist.
Stephen Glover: Cash for content: is the Guardian as pure as it claims to be?
Monday, 8 March 2010
The Guardian has been chiding other newspapers for not taking seriously its "revelations" about the News of the World and telephone hacking. Not for the first time – My God, no – the newspaper climbs on to its pedestal and looks down its nose at the rest of Fleet Street, which it judges less scrupulous, less virtuous and less committed to fearless journalism.
Stephen Glover: This time, will it be The Sun wot hung it?
Monday, 22 February 2010
David Cameron is in some difficulty. The Tories are worried about their shrinking opinion poll lead. Maybe a hung Parliament beckons. Maybe even worse. Who can say?
Stephen Glover: There’s one part of the news-stand that’s still doing serious business
Monday, 15 February 2010
The printed word is dead, we are often told. It is certainly having a hard time in national and regional newspapers, nearly all of which have been losing sales at a dramatic rate. But the printed word in magazines is in a much happier state.
Stephen Glover: This acquired taste for scooping red-tops could be a risky strategy
Monday, 8 February 2010
Over the years The Sun and its sibling, the News of the World, have published a great many sexual exposures. If there were a Palme d’Or for running such pieces, these two would vie with each other year after year, and no other newspaper would come close.
Stephen Glover: A ruling that puts claimant lawyers on the defensive
Monday, 1 February 2010
Last Friday’s ruling by Mr Justice Tugendhat which led to revelations about John Terry, the England captain, astonished lawyers and the media.
