The Lewinsky affair has sent the media of the world, and in particular that of the United States, into a frenzy unseen since Watergate. At the eye of the storm are the White House Press Corps or "Scorps", the cream of Washington's political journalists who are pressing President Clinton's "spin doctors" for new details.
From the internet publication of Kenneth Starr's report to the eve of the mid-term elections, Julian Pettifer reports on the battle of words between news-hungry reporters and the presidential press office. Pettifer also speaks to journalists of different generations about their views on contemporary investigative reporting.
