She has researched and written widely about the publishing industry and her books are both widely translated and used world- wide within industry and academia. She jointly set up MA Publishing at Kingston in 2005-6 and has been there ever since. Her industry-related research has explored self- publishing, marketing in publishing, and is now concentrating on the changing role of the author. Tor Clark is Associate Professor at Leicester University. He has been a journalist since the 1980s, spending the first part of his career in newspapers, working his way up from Reporter to Editor.

Future journalism is also the focus of her teaching – the relationships between technology, change and journalism. Imke Henkel is a Senior Lecturer in Journalism at the University of Lincoln. She trained as a broadcast journalist at Deutschlandfunk, Germany. Since 1998 in London she has reported for top German national newspapers including Sueddeutsche Zeitung and Die Zeit about British politics and economics.

Still Life in the Old Attack Dogs: The Press David Deacon and Dominic Wring Introduction During the 2015 campaign there was considerable negativity and partiality in much press reporting; it was not difficult to find examples of where robust political partisanship descended into personal vilification. Some of this was the kind of journalism that had been repeatedly highlighted and criticized only a few years before, most notably in the House of Commons following the 2011 hacking scandal and subsequently during the ensuing year-long Leveson Inquiry.
