Greenslade: Phone hacking book deals already signed
July 26th, 2011Posted by Rachel McAthy in Business, Editors' pick, Investigative journalism
The Guardian’s Roy Greenslade reports today that book deals relating to the phone-hacking scandal have already been signed.
This includes one for Guardian journalist Nick Davies, of which is said to be “provisionally” titled Hack Attack.
It’s scheduled for release in autumn next year. So it looks as though Labour MP Tom Watson will get in first because his tome, for Penguin Press, is due to be published before the end of this year. It is being co-written with Martin Hickman of the Independent, a former journalist of the year.
Greenslade adds that “there is not the least sense of competition or animosity between Davies and Watson”, with the story big enough for the two of them, if not more.
