Score, Melissa

Pages: 63 –80

[At its demise in July 2011, the News of the World (NOTW) highlighted its campaigning reputation in its final editorial. It gave just one nineteenth-century example, saying that it had ‘crusaded’ against child labour. By juxtaposing this cause with its modern-day campaigns, the NOTW implied a...

Conboy, Martin
