Abstract

The Sunday Times has bitterly criticised the People newspaper for its role in disclosing the affair between Heritage Secretary David Mellor and Antonia de Sancha, the actress.

It is claimed that the Sunday Times included many serious errors in its attack.

Subjects

Abstract

David Mellor having an affair with an actress (and thus something to hide) while being the minister responsible for the examination of press standards is seen as a conflict of interest. The pros and cons of whether the People newspaper should have reported the scandal are various. Whether it was in the public interest is debatable as Mellor was not in a sensitive post that could be open to blackmail. But if (as reported) he was so tired he was unable to perform his official duties, perhaps the public should have been told.
