Hello, everyone.
Welcome to another episode of New Books Network.
This is your host, Moteza Hajizadeh from Critical Theory Channel.
Today, I'm honored to be speaking with Dr. Terry Kirby about his most recent book, which is called The Newsmonger, A History of Tabloid
The book was published in 2024 by Reaction Press.
And Terry Kirby is Senior Lecturer in Journalism at Goldsmith University of London and also the author of The Trials of Baroness, 1991.
He's been a journalist for more than four decades, and he was a founding member of staff at The Independent, where he worked for more than 20 years in a number of roles, including crime correspondent, night editor, and chief reporter.
Terry, welcome to New Books Network.
Thank you.
Before we start talking about the book, can you just briefly tell us the idea behind the book?
Why did you decide to write a book about the history of tabloid journalism?
Yeah.
Right.
Let's start with some definition.
How do you define tabloid journalism and what distinguishes it from other forms of journalism?
Yeah.
And it's not a new phenomenon.
I mean, tablet journalism is not a new phenomenon.
In your book, you sort of trace it back to Alfred Harmsworth and the idea of time-saving news.
Yeah.
