‘Flat Earth News’ by Nick Davies reveals that 54% of newspaper stories in the ‘quality’ broadsheets, ie. The Times, Daily Mail, Independent, Guardian, Telegraph are wholely or mainly constructed out of PR product and NOT, as many naive people believe, as the result of investigative journalism. In other words, the majority of stories which posters read in the papers before scurrying along to TiL to regurgitate what they have read, have been ‘placed’ by people like me. These stories are constructed by people who have a clear political or commercial interest to serve.  Nick Davies recently spoke in Dublin, and an Indymedia volunteer captured it for DCTV.
