Thu Aug 01 14:03:11 GMT 2013




THE MEDIA AND PUBLIC SHAMING, edited by Julian Petley

Published in Paperback by I.B.Tauris, in Association with Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, Oxford; 22nd August 2013; Priced £17.99; ISBN 9781780765877



A highly topical subject, particularly in the wake of phone-hacking and the subsequent Leveson Inquiry, this book examines the practice of ‘public shaming’ especially of celebrities and politicians in the tabloids and considers the media’s right to exposes people’s private lives in the ‘interest of the public’.



The book brings together contributions from experts in the field who focus on old and new media and offer a global perspective on the issue. Well known cases involving John Leslie and Max Mosley are examined as well as the case of Irish politician Brian Lenihan, whose diagnosis of terminal cancer was leaked by the press the day after Christmas and Australian politician David Campbell, who was exposed as having visited a gay sex club. Public shaming of individuals and companies through social media and the differences in self-disclosure among cultures are also looked at. In the last chapter John Lloyd, Director of Journalism at the Reuters Institute, explores British journalism after The News of the World affair.



Julian Petley is Professor of Screen Media in the School of Arts at Brunel University, co-Chair of the Campaign for Press and Broadcasting Freedom and a member of the editorial board of the British Journalism Review and the advisory board of Index on Censorship.
