Touched by Angels

This biography of media personality Derek Jameson tells of his childhood in the East End and chronicles his rise in Fleet Street, from messenger boy to newspaper editor. He presents tales from behind the scenes in Fleet Street - Reuters, the tabloids, the moguls and the readers. He also reveals the facts behind the Sid Yobbo libel case against the BBC and how, although he won the case, he lost the costs of one of the most publicized libel trials of recent years.
