The friends of tabloid newspapers often point out that their journalism exists only because millions of people pay money to read it.

From Nick Davies

In my case, I got hit a lot by bullies when I was a child, and so I naturally bristle against anybody who abuses power. And that seems to make me rather persistent when it comes to exposing the abuse of power.

I've learnt that your life is more interesting and fulfilling when you don't lead it in a straight line and you go off on zigzags. I've made it a rule that if life becomes too comfortable and easy, I'll disrupt it.

From Nick Davies

Once, the world was full of mysteries, some of them frightening, some of them wonderful, some of them merely fascinating.
