Two Sides of Fleet Street

As a nation, we have an enormous appetite for newsprint: we read more, per head, than any country in the world. Of our nine national dailies perhaps the two most influential are at opposite ends of the scale: Cecil King's Daily Mirror, read by more than a quarter of the population, and Lord Thomson's Times, read by everyone who "matters"... Yet in today's television-educated age, popular and quality papers draw closer together. What do they say about their role, their power, their influence - the men on the inside who decide what you read? What are they like, what do they think - the men behind the headlines?
