For some years after layout tools became available the magazine retained this technique to maintain its look, although the three older were replaced with an IBM composer. Today the magazine is still predominantly in black and white though the cover and some inside appear in colour and there is more text and less white space than is typical for a modern magazine. Much of the text is printed in the standard font. The former "Colour Section" was printed in black and white like the rest of the magazine: only the content was colourful. While the magazine in general reports corruption, self-interest and incompetence in a broad range of industries and lines of work, certain people and entities have received a greater amount of attention and coverage in its pages. As the most visible public figures, prime ministers and senior politicians make the most natural targets, but Private Eye also aims its criticism at journalists, newspapers and prominent or interesting businesspeople. It is the habit of the magazine to attach nicknames, usually offensive or crude, to these people, and often to create surreal and extensive alternate personifications of them, which usually take the form of parody newspaper articles in the second half of the magazine. Private Eye has regularly and extensively reported on and investigated a wide range of far-reaching issues, including:. A series of parody columns referring to the Prime Minister of the day has been a long-term feature of Private Eye. While generally satirical, during the s, Ingrams and wrote an affectionate series of fictional letters from to in the column, mocking Thatcher as an amiable, golf-playing drunk. The column was collected in a series of books and became a stage-play "Anyone For Denis? In The Back is an section notably associated with pioneering journalist [17] the Eye has always published its investigative journalism at the back of the magazine. Nooks and Corners originally Nooks and Corners of the New Barbarism , an architectural column severely critical of architectural vandalism and "barbarism", [21] notably modernism and brutalism , [22] was originally founded by in his first article attacked a building praised by his enemy Nikolaus Pevsner [23] and carried on by his daughter . Street of Shame is a column addressing journalistic misconduct and excesses, [27] [28] hypocrisy, and undue influence by proprietors and editors, mostly sourced from tipoffs [29] — it sometimes serves as a venue for the settling of scores within the trade, [30] and is a source of friction with editors. There are also several recurring miniature sections. A special issue was published in to mark the death of long-time contributor Paul Foot. The magazine has a number of recurring in-jokes and convoluted references, often comprehensible only to those who have read the magazine for many years. They include euphemisms designed to avoid notoriously plaintiff-friendly English libel laws, such as replacing the word "drunk" with " ", [35] [36] or using the phrase "Ugandan discussions" to denote illicit sexual exploits; [35] and more obvious parodies utilising easily recognisable stereotypes, such as the lampooning as " Bufton Tufton " of Conservative MPs. Such terms have sometimes fallen into disuse as their hidden meanings have become better-known. The magazine often deliberately misspells the names of certain organisations, such as "Crapita" for the outsourcing company , "Carter-Fuck" for the law firm Carter-Ruck , and " The Grauniad " for the latter a reference to the newspaper's typos in its days as The Manchester Guardian. The first half of each issue of the magazine, which consists chiefly of news reporting and investigative journalism , tends to include these in-jokes in a more subtle manner, so as to maintain journalistic integrity, while the second half, generally characterised by unrestrained parody and cutting humour, tends to present itself in a more confrontational way. Private Eye has from time to time produced various spin-offs from the magazine, including:. Some have found the magazine's irreverence and sometimes controversial humour offensive. Under this headline was a picture of many hundreds of people outside , with one person commenting that the papers were "a disgrace", another agreeing, saying that it was impossible to get one anywhere, and another saying, "Borrow mine. It's got a picture of the car. Following the abrupt change in reporting from newspapers immediately following her death, the issue also featured a mock retraction from "all newspapers" of everything negative that they had ever said about Diana. This was enough to cause a flood of complaints and the temporary removal of the magazine from the shelves of some newsagents. These included WHSmith , which had previously refused to stock Private Eye until well into the s, and was characterised in the magazine as "WH Smugg" or "WH Smut" on account of its policy of stocking pornographic magazines. The "Diana issue" is now one of the most highly sought-after back-issues. The issues that followed the Ladbroke Grove rail crash in number , the of number ; the magazine even including a special "subscription cancellation coupon" for disgruntled readers to send in and the Soham murders of all attracted similar complaints. During the early s Private Eye published many stories on the MMR vaccine controversy , substantially supporting the interpretation by of published research in by the 's Inflammatory Bowel Disease Study Group, which described an apparent link between the vaccine and and bowel problems. Many of these stories accused medical researchers who supported the vaccine's safety of having conflicts of interest because of funding from the pharmaceutical industry. Initially dismissive of Wakefield, the magazine rapidly moved to support him, in publishing a page MMR Special Report that supported Wakefield's assertion that MMR vaccines "should be given individually at not less than one year intervals. A doubting parent who reads this might be convinced there is a genuine problem and the absence of any proper references will prevent them from checking the many misleading statements. In a review article published in , after Wakefield was disciplined by the , regular columnist , who contributes to the "Medicine Balls" column under the "MD", stated that: " Private Eye got it wrong in its coverage of MMR", in maintaining its support for Wakefield's position long after shortcomings in his work had emerged. The cover of issue in showed Emperor visiting Britain with the caption "A nasty nip in the air", and the subheading "Piss off, Bandy Knees". In the s and s the magazine mocked the rights movement and . The magazine mocked the Gay Liberation Front [54] and gay rights activism as " Poove Power" [55] popularising the term "poove" as a derogatory insult for gay men [56] , and published feminist material under the title "Loony Feminist Nonsense". Senior figures in the trade union movement have accused the publication of having a classist anti-union bias, with Unite chief of staff Andrew Murray describing Private Eye as "a publication of assiduous [ sic ] public school boys" and adding that it has "never once written anything about trade unions that isn't informed by cynicism and hostility". Its mix of humour and investigation has tirelessly challenged the hypocrisy of the elite. But it also has serious weaknesses. Among the witty — if sometimes tired — spoof articles and cartoons, there is a nasty streak of snobbery and prejudice. Its jokes about the poor, women and young people rely on lazy stereotypes you might expect from the columns of the . It is the anti-establishment journal of the establishment. The Christmas issue received a number of complaints after it featured Pieter Bruegel 's painting of a nativity scene , in which one wise man said to another: "Apparently, it's 's" who at the time was involved in a scandal in which he was thought to have impregnated a married woman. Many readers sent letters accusing the magazine of blasphemy and anti-Christian attitudes. One stated that the "witless, gutless buggers wouldn't dare mock Islam ". It has, however, regularly published Islam-related humour such as the cartoon which portrayed a "Taliban careers master asking a pupil: What would you like to be when you blow up? Many letters in the first issue of disagreed with the former readers' complaints, and some were parodies of those letters, "complaining" about the following issue's cover [61] — a cartoon depicting Santa 's sleigh shredded by a wind farm : one said: "To use a picture of Our Lord Father Christmas and his Holy Reindeer being torn limb from limb while flying over a windfarm is inappropriate and blasphemous. In November , Private Eye 's official website appeared on a controversial list of over "fake news" websites compiled by Melissa Zimdars, a US lecturer. Private Eye has long been known for attracting libel lawsuits, which in English law can lead to the award of damages relatively easily. The publication maintains a large quantity of money as a "fighting fund" although the magazine frequently finds other ways to defuse legal tensions, for example by printing letters from aggrieved parties. As editor since , is reportedly one of the most sued people in Britain. The first person to successfully sue Private Eye was the writer Colin Watson , who objected to the magazine's description of him as "the little-known author who For the tenth anniversary issue in number , the cover showed a cartoon headstone inscribed with a long list of well-known names, and the epitaph: "They did not sue in vain". In the case of Arkell v. Pressdram , the plaintiff was the subject of an article. We note that Mr Arkell's attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of our reply and would therefore be grateful if you would inform us what his attitude to damages would be, were he to learn that the nature of our reply is as follows: fuck off. Pressdram ". Another litigation case against the magazine was initiated in by , who managed to arrange for criminal libel charges to be brought, meaning that, if found guilty, and the author of the article, Patrick Marnham could have been imprisoned. He sued over allegations that he had been one of the members of the Clermont Set who had conspired to assist Lord Lucan after Lucan had murdered his family nanny, Sandra Rivett. Goldsmith won a partial victory and eventually reached a settlement with the magazine. The case threatened to bankrupt Private Eye , which turned to its readers for financial support in the form of a "Goldenballs Fund". Goldsmith himself was referred to as "Jaws". The solicitor involved in many litigation cases against Private Eye , including the Goldsmith case, was Peter Carter-Ruck ; [72] to this day the magazine refers to the firm of solicitors as "Carter-Fuck". sued the magazine for the suggestion he looked like a criminal, and won a significant sum. Editor Hislop summarised the case: "I've just given a fat cheque to a fat Czech", and later claimed this was the only known example of a joke being told on News at Ten. Sonia Sutcliffe sued after allegations made in January that she used her connection to her husband, the "Yorkshire Ripper" , to make money. Later, in Sonia Sutcliffe's libel case against the in , details emerged which demonstrated that she had benefited financially from her husband's crimes, even though Private Eye ' s facts had been inaccurate. In , Gordon Anglesea, a retired police inspector, successfully sued the Eye and three other media outlets for libel over published allegations that he had indecently assaulted under- aged boys in in the s. In October , he was convicted of historic sex offences. Private Eye will not be looking to get our money back from the libel damages. Others have paid a far higher price. In , Private Eye successfully challenged an injunction brought against it by Michael Napier, the former head of the Law Society , who had sought to claim "confidentiality" for a report that he had been disciplined by the Law Society in relation to a conflict of interest. The magazine is owned by an eclectic group of people and is published by a limited company, Pressdram Ltd, [83] which was bought as an "off the shelf" company by in November Categories : Lists of fictional detectives Fictional private investigators.

Those concerned are reputedly contractually only able to sell their shares at the price they originally paid for them. Shareholders as of the annual company return dated 31 March [update] , including shareholders who have inherited shares, are:. Within its pages the magazine always refers to its owner as the mythical proprietor "Lord Gnome", a satirical dig at autocratic press barons. The magazine's masthead features a cartoon logo of an armoured knight, Gnitty, with a bent sword, parodying the "Crusader" logo of the . The logo for the magazine's news page is a donkey-riding naked Mr Punch caressing his erect and oversized penis, while hugging a female admirer. It is a detail from a frieze by "Dickie" Doyle that once formed the masthead of Punch magazine, which the editors of Private Eye had come to loathe for its perceived descent into complacency. The image, hidden away in the detail of the frieze, had appeared on the cover of Punch for nearly a century and was noticed by during a guest-editing spot on Private Eye. The " Rabelaisian gnome", as the character was called, was enlarged by , and put on the front cover of issue 69 in at full size. He was then formally adopted as a mascot on the inside pages, as a symbol of the old, radical incarnation of Punch magazine that the Eye admired. The masthead text was designed by , who would later design the popular webfonts and Georgia , and the Windows 95 interface font Tahoma. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The sound of 1, people laughing out loud at cartoons from Private Eye: A Cartoon History left me feeling elated as I departed from the Cheltenham Literature Festival. The town hall, the largest venue in town, was packed to the rafters by a sell-out crowd of unlikely Eye fans on a Monday afternoon. Afterwards, was fulsome in their praise and voted with their wallets by buying stacks of books. People love cartoons — and not in a wry, chucklesome sort of way; in a roaring boom of belly laughter. My euphoria was short-lived — returning to London to hear that four of my cartoonist newspaper colleagues had been axed for budgetary reasons. Two of these were the same cartoonists whose work was met with such a rapturous reception on the literary circuit. There, the backlit cartoons look bright, cheerful and vibrant. Editor adds: Many thanks to Nick. He suggests that anyone wanting to hear how much people like cartoons should go along. September 27, in Events , General , News. Fans of Private Eye cartoons were in for a treat this week, as editor Ian Hislop and cartoonist Nick Newman took to the stage for two separate events looking back over 50 years of visual humour in the magazine — where they picked out a few favourite gags and discussed the challenge of selecting the cartoons that make it into the magazine. The talks were scheduled to coincide with the launch of Private Eye: A Cartoon History , a handsome new hardback book edited by Newman and containing more than of the best cartoons published by the magazine over the last five decades. Ingrams was promoting his latest collection of Oldie cartoons , also published this month. They observed that cartoons became increasingly surreal and absurd during the s — with the giant hedgehog being a case in point — and Newman noted that many of the best political cartoons have not made it into his book because their has been lost over time. Libby Purves , the journalist, broadcaster and Procartoonists. She pointed out that there still seems to be life in cartoonist cliches such as the desert island and the suicidal man-on-ledge. More generally, Hislop praised gag cartoonists for their ability to distil their observations of the world around them into pithy and memorable scenes. Purves asked where Hislop draws the line when it comes to offending his readership. We got a lot of complaints about this cartoon, but I just thought it was incredibly funny. We hope he was joking. The presence of Ingrams at this second talk meant more anecdotes about the s boom — for example that it was who persuaded Gerald Scarfe to stop drawing desert island gags and have a go at caricature. But Ingrams was also keen to talk about the current crop of cartoonists, and his slideshow of gags from book included one or two from younger talents, among them the cartoon below by Procartoonists. Hislop explained that the sheer number of cartoons flooding in to the Eye means he is required to make quick decisions over what to publish. Ingrams agreed, but added that the drawing itself should be amusing, not simply the idea behind it. Both talks were packed and the audiences were extremely appreciative, filling the room with laughter at pretty much every cartoon shown — and with several jokes even eliciting a round of applause.
