Evidence given to the Leveson inquiry last week appalled many veteran journalists. Among them was John Dale - a former national newspaper reporter and magazine editor - who wrote on the gentlemenranters site of "journalistic corruption and debasement" that "shamed Fleet Street."
Another hardened old hand, Jim Cassidy, was disgusted too. As the editor of two red-tops - the Glasgow-based Sunday Mail and, briefly, the Sunday Mirror - he knows the business from the inside.
I am pleased to act as host to his passionate response to the revelations of the first week's hearings...

Do journalists cry? Do editors cry? Do photographers cry? They should. They do. They must. I advise any of the journalists due to attend court 73 of the Royal Courts of Justice over the next week to stop and take some time out at prayer room E131.
There, they can find time to reflect,...

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Diane Watson, D-Calif., thinks that wider worldwide screening of classic Hollywood fare will help convince people that the American way of life is not evil.
Watson, who chairs the House Entertainment Caucus, has introduced legislation that seeks to have movies screened in U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide.
The bill, H.R. 2533, known as the Public Diplomacy Resource Centers Act of 2007, establishes a film series in honor of Johnny Grant, Hollywood's unofficial mayor.
"My legislation is designed to stock libraries of U.S. embassies and consulates with films that promote the American way of life and then loosen current restrictions so that the public can have greater access," Watson said. "Many of us have forgotten that we didn't win the Cold War just because our military and economy were superior, but also because the Warsaw Pact countries bought into our ideals and beliefs in democracy, human rights, the rule of law and the free flow of information."
The legislation grew out of a trip Watson made to South Africa last year and her visit to the State Department's Rosa Parks Library in Soweto, which had been slated to be closed because of a lack of funding.

WASHINGTON -- The chairwoman of the House Entertainment Industries Caucus said Monday that the Chinese are willing to play ball with the U.S. over intellectual property issues despite that country's denunciation of a Bush administration decision to take to the World Trade Organization complaints of widespread piracy and counterfeiting of American goods.
Rep. Diane Watson, D-Calif., said in an interview that Beijing realizes that trade in copyrighted goods is a two-way street. She just returned from a congressional delegation to China that included meetings with high-ranking trade ministers.
"They are taking steps, but it is almost an impossible task," Watson said. "They realize that it's in their best interests and our best interests to protect intellectual property. The protection of intellectual property works both ways."
During the recent recess, Watson traveled to China with House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., and Del. Eni F.H. Faleomavaega, D-American Samoa, chairman of the subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific.

Leadership of the WGA East on Tuesday applauded a recent request by FCC staff for information from broadcast and guild execs about the composition of certain bargaining units and other issues.
So far, the FCC has contacted CBS and the WGAE regarding such information, related to stalled news-contract talks with the guild. But guild spokeswoman Sherry Goldman said the FCC also indicated that it would contact ABC.
The WGAE's contract with ABC expired Jan. 31, 2005, and its CBS pact expired April 1, 2005. At CBS, one sticking point in the talks involves a proposal that radio news writers from the WGAE be combined with those represented by other unions at a pair of news-radio stations in Los Angeles.
Various elected officials including U.S. Reps. Maurice Hinchey, Diane Watson, Jan Schakowsky and Anthony Weiner have expressed interest in having the FCC check into the WGAE's concerns in the talks, Goldman said. FCC chairman Kevin Martin recently wrote to Hinchey to note that a request for information on the contract talks had been sent to CBS and the WGA.
