*The story of NEWS OF THE WORLD*
???? AUDIO-ONLY EPISODE. Made for listening on YouTube and YouTube Music.

In this episode of the *#mediaHISTORY Podcast,* we trace the *168-year journey of News of the World,* the British Sunday paper that defined *tabloid journalism.* From its 19th-century motto “Fearless advocacy of the truth” to its descent into *checkbook journalism,* it’s a story of ambition, power, and ethical collapse.

You’ll see how it captured Britain’s obsession with *crime, scandal, and celebrity,* how *Winston Churchill* used its pages to challenge Hitler, and how *Rupert Murdoch* later turned controversy into a business model. But when the pursuit of exclusives crossed the line into *phone-hacking,* everything changed. This story reveals how one newspaper’s *hunger for sensation* mirrored our own, and why its downfall still matters for journalism today.
