A lesson for the Press

A considerable number of pamphlets and documents from the Civil War are to go on display at the British Library. These documents are notable for being the first flowering of a movement which led almost directly to the establishment of the popular press.

Could I suggest that the editors of such esteemed publications as The Sun and The Daily Mail might benefit from reading these documents. At the very least they might gain a better understanding of the consequences of their actions. Though thinking of the editorial content of the aforementioned publications, perhaps not.
