The SUN is more than a newspaper. It is, in its own words, a phenomenon - the biggest-selling daily paper in the English language, fascinating 12 million readers and making its owner, Rupert Murdoch, a profit of over 1 million a week. The SUN has unashamedly dragged journalistic standards into the gutter. This book takes you inside the machine to tell in graphic and often hilarious detail the story of how the paper has evolved from cashing in on the permissive society of the sixties, to helping Maggie win the election in 1979, to the world of foul-mouthed Kelvin MacKenzie to the present day.
Peter Chippindale was born in 1945. He began writing seriously as a front page investigative journalist on the Guardian. He then went on to make documentaries for London Weekend Television before leaving to concentrate on his writing. He is the author or co-author of more than a dozen non-fiction books, including the critically acclaimed trilogy on the media industry - Disaster!, Dished! and Stick It Up Your Punter! - the latter recently republished. Laptop of the Gods is Peter's second work of fiction following Mink. He has three young children and lives with his wife Susie near the sea in Cornwall.
Chris Horrie is the author of six successful books, including the bestselling STICK IT UP YOUR PUNTER! and LIVE TV. He is a former national newspaper and magazine journalist and editor, TV producer, lecturer and academic.
