Additional Project Info

Written in close collaboration with leading UK journalists who wish to remain anonymous, this is the first of a six-part series of screenplays. The narratives are drawn from the journalists' experiences at some of the UK's most notorious right-wing newspapers, and aim to highlight some of the malpractice normalised in the industry.
