The Insider - Piers Morgan

 
Description: ISBN 0091908493 / Author: Piers Morgan / Genre: Biography / The Insider dominated the media on publication in March 2005 and instantly ... more
The Insider - Piers Morgan ... became a No.1 bestseller. Not only did it fill thousands of column inches with its revelations about prominent political and showbiz figures, it was critically acclaimed across the broadsheets for its unique and fascinating insight into the worlds of celebrity, royalty, politics and the media. Piers Morgan was made editor of the News of the World, the UK's biggest-selling Sunday newspaper at the record-breaking age of 28. The decade that followed was one of the most tumultuous in modern times. In a world of indiscreet dinners, private meetings and gossipy lunches, Piers Morgan found himself in the thick of it. His diaries from this remarkable period reveal astonishing and hilarious encounters with an endless list of celebrities and politicians alike: Diana, William, Charles, and Camilla; Tony Blair, Cherie, and Gordon Brown; Paul McCartney, George Michael, and Elton John; Jeremy Clarkson, Paula Yates, and Gazza to name just a few. Entertaining, engaging and compulsive, The Insider has been the most talked-about book of 2005, blowing apart every notion we have of politics, media, and celebrity.

Premium Review Diary of a Tabloid Editor (1147 words)
by - written on 15/12/05 (Very useful, 753 readings)
Rating:

Piers Morgan was promoted to Editor of the News of the World in 1994, after working for the owner in a relatively junior capacity. While there he was headhunted by the Daily Mirror, and as he preferred to be the editor of a daily, was pleased. He kept notes of his ten years as editor of both papers, and after he was sacked from the Daily Mirror job, wrote this book. He thanks his ex-employers for giving him the time to write about his experiences. I would most recommend this book to people who read tabloid papers, so that they can find out what motivates the journalists, and also to would be journalists, so that that can learn some of the tricks ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review The Insider - Piers Morgan: Inside Story (1259 words)

Rating:

I didn’t buy this book and if it had been up to me it wouldn’t have come into the house. I don’t read tabloid newspapers and Piers Morgan has been editor of two of them. I don’t like gossip (unless it’s particularly juicy) and I’m not keen on giving money to people who make a good living out of selling it. Still, the book was there and I thought I might as well have a look just to see how dreadful it was. Er, I couldn’t put it down and read it cover to cover in less than forty eight hours despite being rather busy at the time! At the age of 28 Piers Morgan was appointed editor of The News of the World. He’d been working on The Sun where he ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review End of the Piers Show (2761 words)
by - written on 04/05/07 (Very useful, 135 readings)
Rating:

Piers Morgan, like the ridiculous ‘Jordan’, is one of our most iconic and inflated tabloid tits, ridiculed not only for the way he ran the News of the World and the Daily Mirror but for the weasel he appears to be, an essential requirement to run a British tabloid it seems, men that puke up what they write after ten pints. So why would anyone want to read a book about his life running those tabloids? Well the answer, of course, is access. This is a guy that had the Prime Ministers ear for ten years and pretty much anyone else’s in the Labor party, a close alliance with the paper formed many decades ago. He was there from day one when Blair came in to number ten and also ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review The Insider - Piers Morgan: This book is BRILLIANT!!!!!! (128 words)
by - written on 04/10/06 (Somewhat useful, 67 readings)
Rating:

This book is brilliant in so many ways. Firstly a behind the scenes look at the Murdoch empire and the inner workings of newspapers we are so familiar with - an invaluable insight. Secondly a trip through recent history, summarising the big news stories - including the death of Princess Diana and other major events. Thirdly, an amazing source of gossip - and this was just the stuff he as allowed to print! The way celebrities use the media is quite incredible! If, like me, you thought Piers Morgan was a pompous twit who should never be given print or air space, I URGE you to read this amazing book - you will change your opinion. It's brilliant, and I ...  Read the complete review
