(2013) Ethics of media, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
One of the topics to emerge from the Leveson Inquiry on the "culture, practice and ethics of the press"1 in the UK concerns the experiences of those who had been unwillingly exposed or mistreated by the tabloid press. The constant theme in these often poignant accounts is the feeling of violation and vulnerability that individuals — both celebrities and ordinary members of the public — experienced, not only in the context of the phone-hacking scandal but also in several other instances of tabloid journalism. This was a rather rare moment when the voice of the injured subject was granted visibility.
