Credit is due to them for publishing this (although they seem to have copied it from the Mirror):

Cameron 'stalling over publication of No10 guest list because Rupert Murdoch was among first visitors'

But Murdoch is the competition as far as grabbing the right wing readership is concerned isn't he?

I don't know how much the readerships of The Times and The Sun overlap with The Mail.

Probably the rivalry ceases around election time.

Predictably, my 'Credit where it's due' thread sank like a stone, but I'd like to revive it in order to put this article forward for consideration:

The firm that hijacked the NHS: MoS investigation reveals extraordinary extent of international management consultant's role in Lansley's health reforms

Proper investigative journalism that is in the public interest, WTF?

Already posted in "Sometimes, just sometimes" and "The NHS" I'm afraid.

But where IS IT on the site? Without your link I don't think I would have found it. Something like that should be the lead story instead of endless Whitney pieces.



But in the spirit of this thread I'll give credit where it's due to them for publishing this in their Clarifications and Corrections section.

Possibly due to Dacre listening to a vagina monologue from Desmond.

I only came across it via a link that Ben Goldacre had posted on Twitter. It is on the main page, albeit very well hidden. I only found it by searching 'NHS'. Totally agree that it should be far more prominent.

Apologies for duplicating the postings in other threads by the way.

You might expect it from North Korea. NOT Britain

I put it here rather start another thread.

All the more justification for the Human Rights Act.

Brave pioneers of the alternative lifestyle: Stunning pictures of lesbian couples show the women who paved the way for modern day tolerance

No cynicism. No smartarse captions. Just sweet photos of lovers, girlfriends, sisters. What's going on at the MoS?

Is NickC's location a 'joke' or an ironic coincidence?

Good spot!

It's not just lesbians, the MoS is running positive photojournalism about new-age travellers, too:

21st century Gypsies: Stunning pictures show how new age travellers are now adopting traditional horse-drawn caravans

My head hurts!

Nothing to do with a certain report nearing publication, I'm sure.

There must be more to it than that. Geordie Greig was a strange choice to edit the Sunday rag: he's not an instinctive Mailite like Dacre, he's a chinless socialite, Old Etonian former editor of Tatler, an Americanophile, and a friend of Boris Johnson. I don't know if Greig oversees the online version (or, if not, who does), but surely it's significant that these photoreportages have appeared under someone other than Dacre's watch.

I imagine Greig was hired to reach a younger audience, and to put a bit of fizz into the paper, in contrast to Dacre's bleak, dystopian mindset which can't go down too well with the American readers they're chasing. The lesbian piece — in which the word 'her-story' is used unironically, surely a first for the Rothermere stable — is clearly aimed at the US market. The gypsy story got published, I suspect, because the photographer has contacts in the posh fashion world (Kate Moss, Bianca Jagger, etc) and may be known to Greig or his recruits.

If Private Eye is to be believed, relations between Dacre and Greig are not cordial. If un-Mail-like stories such as these prove to be a popular part of the Mail Online mix, it might jeopardise Dacre's authority — the Rothermeres are obviously more interested in world domination than they are in journalistic consistency. With News International reeling, the opportunity is there, but to what extent is Dacre ill-placed to take it, given his technophobia, his obvious contempt for celebrity culture, his unshakeable pessimism, and the likelihood that he'll get a ribbing from Leveson?

A suivre…
