I was on BBC Breakfast this morning...

The thorny question came up - why do people buy the papers that peddle hatred and vicious attitudes, and the magazines that specialise in horrid photographs and paparazzi pix?
In other words, are we getting the press we really want?
I reckon such attitudes have been encouraged by the press itself. Twenty or thirty years of the drip, drip effect of nasty attitudes permeating our culture. Can we reverse the effect? It would be nice to try....

Hi! I’m Anne Diamond and on weekday mornings you can find me on BBC Radio Berkshire (10 - 1). Even if you don’t live in and around Berkshire, and you know me from my TV and writing, you can always read what I’m doing here or listen online. Welcome!
