News: Phone Hacking Trial Book to be Published Next Month
26 06 2014
The
first full “uncensored” account of the phone hacking trial by
journalist Peter Jukes is to be published within weeks, Canbury Press
announced today.Beyond Contempt: The Inside Story of the Hacking Trial will be speedily released in e-book format by the end of July 2014.Peter Jukes was named Britain’s best social media journalist for his live-tweeting of the trial at the Old Bailey.
Over eight months the prosecution delved deep into the News of the World and the Sun – and found widespread criminality, intrusion and bullying. But the behind-the-scenes legal battles and personal dramas were the subject of reporting restrictions.
Beyond Contempt will contain all the action the media was legally barred from publishing.
Peter Jukes, who funded his live-tweeting from public donations, said:
“Now that the verdicts are in, this
book will go beyond the restrictions imposed on the media by the
Contempt of Court Act, hence its title. If you want to know how Rebekah Brooks came to be acquitted and Andy Coulson convicted, this is the book for you.”
Martin Hickman, founder of Canbury Press, the book’s publisher, said:
“The Murdoch press has already started
to kick back against the trial, using a bogus £100 million figure to
claim it was a waste of money. As the judge acknowledged, the case was
important for British justice – and there was a lot more going on than
the public was told.”
Beyond Contempt will be sold in four formats:- A quick release e-book, to be published at the end of July
- First edition signed paperback with free e-book
- The e-book and a paperback dedicated to the buyer and an invite to the launch party with special guests;
- A VIP access-all-areas pass.
