We wrap up another week with a selection of our editors’ favourite stories and reading recommendations.
As another week draws to a close, our editors once again divert their
attention away from the hectic newsdesk with some of their favourite
stories from the press this week including the Bollea Vs Gawker Media
case and 'political' scraps of a feline nature!
Take the lead from today’s leaders. FM London Summit, 14-15
November, 2016. Register here!Jonathan Fine kicks off with an interesting contribution from The New
Yorker...
When in Doubt - Put it Out?
I have been following the Bollea Vs Gawker Media case avidly through its
various stages, because of the complexities it embodies and the
multilayered characters involved.
Terry Bollea, better known as legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan, has filed
against the unscrupulous publisher for airing a sex tape starring Hogan
(unwittingly). After four years he has won a staggering compensation of
$140 million, which puts Gawker’s very existence in danger.
Gawker founder Nick Denton files for bankruptcy, saying he owes $125M to
Hulk Hogan after court case.

Speaking recently with David Remnick at the New Yorker Radio, Gawker’s
founder Nick Denton stood up to defend his decision, claiming that the
media eco-system should have a room for “an independent spiky journalism”.
But to what end? At what price? And how can one seriously state that a
celebrity sex tape is "newsworthy"?
The 15 minute-long talk is a telling
Exchange
not only about the Hogan lawsuit (and what drove powerful VC Peter Thiel
to bankroll it), but about journalism in an era of “explosion of
expression”, as The New Yorker’s editor-in-chief hears from the founder of
Gawker.com, now under chapter 11.
We continue with Simon Golstein's favourite story of the week...
When Will the Madness End?
Looking at the state of the world at the moment, one could be forgiven
for drawing a comparison between the 2010s and the 1910s/1930s.
The rise of Daesh, the siege of Aleppo, desperate refugees streaming
into an ever more unstable Europe...all-too-frequent terrorist attacks
ripping lives apart in France and Turkey and Iraq. And in the West, the
success of unapologetically populist politicians alarming to anyone with
an even cursory knowledge of modern world history.
And while the UK has not been immune to political troubles, what with
the surprising victory of the
Brexit
campaign and a leadership struggle within the Labour party, at least the
islands had been relatively free of violence.
