Explosive, controversial and ground-breaking - award-winning investigative journalist Nick Davies exposes the shocking corruption of today's media.

Does ‘fake news’ really exist? Find out from the ultimate insider.

After years of working as a respected journalist, Nick Davies, in this shocking exposé, reveals what really goes on behind the scenes of this contentious industry.

From a prestigious newspaper that allowed intelligence agencies to plant fiction in its columns, to the newsroom that routinely rejected stories due to racial bias, to the number of papers that accepted cash bribes. Gripping, thought-provoking and revelatory, this is an insider’s look at one of the most tainted professions.

‘Meticulous, fair-minded and utterly gripping’ Telegraph
‘Powerful and timely...his analysis is fair, meticulously researched and fascinating’ Observer
