| Abstract
|
:
|
'Family Newspapers?' provides a detailed historical study of modern popular press coverage of sex and private life, from the start of the mass newspaper reading boom in 1918 to the triumph of the Sun's sexualised journalism in 1978, when circulation overtook that of its rival, the Daily Mirror.
