News of the World: good newspaper (103 words)

I always buy news of the world every week. I find it good value for money, especially the free magazine, which contains health features, star interviews, television news and so much more. The paper it’s self is very good with lots of regular features, my favourite is Captain Cash where people write to him for cash to help ...  Read the complete review

I have never read the News of the World and I know many people who hadn't read it either until they started the 'name and shame' campaign. Which just goes to show, it worked! I don't believe they really cared about protecting children or justice or any of that but about making money and selling newspapers, they ...  Read the complete review

Name and Shame Campaign - News of the World (96 words)
by - written on 15/08/00, updated on  15/08/00 (Useful, 19 readings)
Rating:

The paper, has, in my opinion, chosen an extremely emotive subject in order to increase its circulation. Those who have been named and shamed will merely find alternative places in which to live, possibly outwith the reach of police and other services set up with which to monitor them. Where does that leave the vulnerable ...  Read the complete review

Rating:

To use the horrific tragedy of little Sarah Payne and hiding behind the noble notion of ridding us of the perpetrators of such vile, human depravity, in order to boost the sales of such a paper is, quite frankly, a crime in itself. Even if their intentions had been honourable ones, during the 'Name and Shame' campaign, ...  Read the complete review

News of the World: Climate of hate and fear (319 words)

Rating:

Not paedophiles, but children and society are the ones who suffer from the naming and shaming campaign. No, I'm not thinking of the danger that paedophiles go underground. I'm thinking of the reaction of ordinary citizens. When I see a child who is lost in a shopping centre, say, a few months ago I would have taken it and gone ...  Read the complete review

Being a parent I am always worried when I am out, after all we are told and we read such vile and curupt stories we dare not move our eyes away from our children even for an instant,the News of the world, if now and again a little miss guided, is trying to make us all a little bit more aware of the community around us,a paedophile can ...  Read the complete review

I am not a big fan of the gutter press and the News of The World has to come under that title. Why do they have to dig dirt on people, hound individuals and generally make the stars lifes so difficult. The majority of us, I am sure, are not interested in who is doing what with whom. Everyone is entitled to thier private lives ...  Read the complete review

Rating:

By their naming and shaming scheme recently put on by the News of the World don't the crew realise that they're doing more harm to the community than good? I admit that people should have the right to know if their child is in danger from someone, but the paedophiles who are back on the streets are having help and are carefully ...  Read the complete review

Rating:

I think The news of the world is a disgrace, representing all that is wrong with the British press. The way it has handled the aftermath of the abduction and murder of Sarah Payne has been nothing short of criminal, with the totally irresponsible 'naming and shaming' fiasco. Now I am not saying paedophiles should not be ...  Read the complete review

When I heard that the News of the World had started a 'Naming and Shaming' campaign, I was disgusted! What gives the right to a national newspaper, accountable to no one, to publish the names of offenders? It is a complete and utter disregard for the rule of law. And what was the result of this little campaign? It drives ...  Read the complete review

After buying the news of the world for many sundays this is there finest hour. This name and shame should have been out a long time ago. This as i can see can only bring good and save many a child. I think they should continue with this and print, in every child abuser in the country as i see this will go far to stop them. This as also ...  Read the complete review

Rating:

The News of the World is a very carefully crafted blunt instrument. Sometimes its editorial policy allows it to puncture bubbles of hypocrisy. Most of the time it panders to our taste for the sensational, the trivial, the prurient. It gives a lot of people just what they want and thus, like so many tabloids, merely reinforces a cycle of ...  Read the complete review

I don,t expect i am the only one who has been very upset and hurt about what happened to little Sarah Payne. When i first heard that she had gone missing myself, and my family were hoping and praying that she would be found safe and well,when they said they had found her words cannot describe,like everyone else how upset we were. ...  Read the complete review

I’ve been reading The News Of The World, for as long as I can remember, I have it delivered every Sunday. Most of the content is scandal; I like Captain Cash’s section. The magazine supplement is pretty good. The Name and Shame campaign, was a good idea in theory, but it seems to me that, the paedophiles are ...  Read the complete review

Now, I have to say that I have been a reader of the NotW for several years, and normally I find it a bit of fun and a no-brain read on Sundays to find out the last weeks scandal and gossip. But I think they've gone much too far with their latest 'For Sarah' campaign with the naming of convicted paedophiles. I have no sympathy ...  Read the complete review

The News of the World is running a campaign on naming and shaming known phedophiles, Is this a helpful campaign, or will it drive these beasts further underground and out of the control of the social services and police? I think that the News of the World, however justified they may think they are, will do more harm than good ...  Read the complete review

When first published, on October 1st, 1843, newsagents were initially reluctant to sell the News of the World. Not because of the content but because its cover price of 3d was seen as being too cheap and unprofitable. It was only in 1836 that stamp duty, the tax payable on each newspaper sold, was reduced from 4d to 1d before being ...  Read the complete review

Following the tragic death of little sarah payne it seemed like a bloody good idea to get these perverts out in the open and let them feel justice. Why should they be protected after preying on kids, problem is an innocent man mistaken for a paedophile was attacked by a mob, he could have been killed. It needs sorting, there are ...  Read the complete review

A few days ago, many would have heard or read that the popular tabloid paper News of the World gave list of former convicted paedophiles in England. The report gave the pictures and the places where they lived. Many people especially parents with little children would have agreed with this move which has become a highly debatable subject ...  Read the complete review
