Anatomy of a Scandal
Season 1, Episode 3, Dec 29, 2022, 01:00 AM
Recorded late October 2022
Everyone loves a scandal, and even in these technological times, a juicy front-page headline can still sell newspapers.
But, has public sympathy shifted post-Leveson and what makes a scandal newsworthy?
As part of today's episode, Petrie is joined by former political advisor Giles Kenningham and journalist Michael Booker, who both talk about scandals they may have fought to get on, or keep off, the front pages.
Why is it that the likes of Trump seem impervious to scandal, while others have their careers destroyed by one salacious story about them?
And in a world of social media cancel culture, do people still turn to tabloids for their gossip?
