Mazher Mahmood’s journalistic game has finally been brought to book
This story from the Guardian tells us about how a journalist from the News of the World bent the rules in order to uncover stories from celebrities, this includes Tulisa, the former X Factor judge and countless other people some have even been to court over this and have been threatened with jail time.
I believe that investigative journalism is a positive thing as it has uncovered some truly remarkable stories, for example Watergate and Crash gate which was an incident investigated by Motorsport journalist Joe Saward. It uncovered the scandal among the Renault F1 team about allegedly forcing one of their drivers to crash to improve race standings for the other. If all journalists investigated these incidents in the right way the public wouldn't be so sceptical about who to trust.
