The Newspaper Editors presented by Jeremy Isaacs
with Max Hastings, of The Daily Telegraph; David Montgomery, Today; Andreas Whittam Smith, The Independent
The press seems to have fallen into disrepute. The public is concerned over the invasion of privacy, the right of reply, the editorial influence of proprietors and the illiberal tendencies of the Government. In this climate of suspicion, just what is the role of newspaper editors? To whom are they accountable? How do they justify their different ways of going about their jobs?
