Writing in the First Post,O'Neill says that
That oh-so-worthy broadsheet's campaign against the News of the World poses a potentially far greater threat to liberty and press freedom than anything the tacky Sunday tabloid might have done.arguing that
If journalists did not sometimes break the law then the truth would remain hidden
Now that can be a fair point sometimes but when it appears that it is used for undercover celeb scandals or sportspeople then the argument is surely blown out of the water.
Roy Greenslade is quick to the defence of his employers as he writes that
The point about the News of the World's activities is that they were not investigating high crime and misdemeanours. They were not exposing police corruption. They were not acting in the public interest.
What O'Neill needs to grasp is that unprincipled and trivial journalism by the News of the World puts serious, inquiring journalism on the back foot.
