Stephen Glover: Why Cameron will enjoy a world where the sun always shines
Monday, 11 January 2010
Say what you like about The Sun, once it has declared it will back you it does not renege on the agreement. For years it slavishly supported Tony Blair, enthusiastically endorsing his case for war against Iraq, and underplaying or ignoring the bad news when things began to go wrong after the invasion.
Tim Luckhurst: Demise of news barons is just a Marxist fantasy
Monday, 4 January 2010
Among people who claim to know the future of journalism a consensus is forming. Western democracies stand on the brink of the decade in which professional reporting will die.
Stephen Glover: £40m sale of family silver may not go far at ‘The Guardian’
Monday, 21 December 2009
The Guardian may now be housed in fancy offices near Kings Cross, complete with their own theatre, but its spiritual home is Manchester.

Stephen Glover: These explosive exchanges will not solve the deeper problems of the British press
Monday, 14 December 2009
Last Tuesday's Daily Telegraph ran a long and exceptionally savage attack on The Guardian. There was little, if anything, new in the piece, which appeared in the business pages.

Stephen Glover: Would the press have reported Tiger’s sex life if he were British?
Monday, 7 December 2009
Anyone who reads a newspaper will know rather more about the sex life of the golfer Tiger Woods than he or she bargained for, or perhaps wanted. Every newspaper, with the exception of the Financial Times, gave the story wall to wall coverage. Readers of the Guardian and The Times have been provided with almost as much information about Mr Woods' various affairs as readers of the Daily Mail or the Sun.
