Today's extract from The phone hacking scandal: journalism on trial* is from a chapter by Tim Luckhurst in which he argues that hacking is not the major problem facing British journalism.
Instead, in the face of declining revenue (and print sales) for newspapers, the challenge is to fund ethical journalism in future.
Talking about ethics in a world with too few profitable, professional, independent news providers would be largely futile, he writes...
Professional journalism's survival is threatened by the economic impact of digital technologies. The plurality and diversity of voice upon which representative democracy depends is in jeopardy.
Needed urgently is debate about how well-resourced, professional news-gathering can be sustained. Instead, tired concerns about the ethics and ownership of popular newspapers are diverting attention from critical 21st century realities.
The hacking of Milly Dowler's mobile telephone generated a moral panic that was seized upon by a curious alliance of elite establishment and left-progressive opinion.

A week ago, a burly Russian tycoon named Alexander Lebedev made the news after he punched a burlier Russian tycoon, Sergei Polonsky, in the face. All that right on a national TV show in front of an audience of millions. Some people say Mr. Polonsky was asking for it. They could be right. In 2008, Mr. Polonsky, then one of Europe’s youngest billionaires, proclaimed that anyone who failed to make a billion dollars was a loser.

Alexander Lebedev - owner of the London Evening Standard and The Independent's family of newspaper titles - has an estimated fortune of $$2.1 billion (£1.3 billion). It also seems that he has a neat right hook, if you watch the video from a Russian political TV show which appears below. Lebedev was part of a panel invited on to NTVshniki last Friday to debate the global financial crisis. However, Sergei Polonsky, a millionaire property developer, took exception to some of the other guests' views, eventually saying that he was "in a mind to punch someone's face". As Polonsky continued to complain about the guests, Lebedev took exception and punched the 38-year-old entrepreneur (more)...

On a television panel show called "Crisis: The Russian response" that aired on Russia's Ntv channel on Sunday, billionaire Alexander Lebedev, a former Kgb agent who owns several British newspapers including The London Evening Standard and The Independent, got all Ivan Drago on fellow tycoon Sergei Polonsky, delivering several blows to the property developer's face and head, knocking him off the stage, then squaring up to Polonsky in a confrontational stance. The pugilistic onslaught was prompted by words the men exchanged about a building project of Polonsky's during a lively back-and-forth about the global economic crisis. Prior to the assault, Polonsky had stated that he wanted to "stick one in the mouth" of Lebedev. Later explaining his pre-emptive sucker-punching of Polonsky, Lebedev wrote on his blog, "In a critical situation, there is no choice. I see no reason to be hit [...]...

Know what's missing from American talk shows? That element of physicality. Imagine if one day Joy Behar just had about enough of Elisabeth Hasselbeck and let one fly.
During a political panel discussion of the current global financial crisis airing Sunday (Sept. 18) night on Russia's Ntv, billionaire Alexander Lebedev did just that when he decided he had had about enough of property developer Sergei Polonsky. At one point Polonsky says that he has felt in the past like "bashing [Lebedev] in the face."
He may feel that way, but Lebedev decided to actually do it, sending Polonsky tumbling backwards from his chair with a sucker punch.
"Unfortunately, Ntv viewers cannot see how Polonsky behaved during the one-and-a-half hour recording. Everybody could see that he was absolutely off his head," Lebedev writes on his blog.

London, Oct 7 – Elizabeth Hurley lived up to her reputation of wearing show-stopping dresses that leave little to the imagination at a private party organised by Elton John-she wore a silk cream column dress with a plunging neckline.
And the model-cum-actress teamed her cleavage revealing dress with a fawn fur gilet at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, alongside an A-list guest list of glamorous stars.
Hurley was accompanied by designer Patrick Cox at the event, held in honour of publisher Alexander Lebedev in London, reports the Daily Mail.
And even when she tried to keep slightly warm.

On Saturday I heard through an entirely credible source in the London financial community that there was a rumor—“a strong rumor”—that Rupert Murdoch might be selling two of his newspapers in London, the Times and the Sunday Times. Without much hesitation (actually none at all) I tweeted the rumor. I knew that there were a variety of circumstances that could make this plausible. For one, there’s great disquiet within News Corp. about the Murdoch-imposed plan to erect paywalls around the papers—even on the part of Murdoch’s relatives. For another, while the Times has always been a money loser, those losses have been made up (and then some) by the highly profitable Sunday Times—which went seriously into the red this past year. In addition, Murdoch’s son, James, who runs the London operation, has made no secret of the fact that newspapers are not his...

✒Eyebrows were raised at News International's Wapping HQ when a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce, with personalised numberplate, pulled up to the main gates. Staff were even more surprised when the Express Newspapers owner, Richard Desmond, stepped out for a lunchtime meeting with News Corp's Europe and Asia chief executive, James Murdoch. His visit comes shortly after News International's chief executive, Rebekah Brooks, was spotted at Desmond's Thameside offices. Paywalls all round?
