Scott Gilmore, the lawyer who led the investigation into the killing of journalist Marie Colvin in a rocket attack by Syrian Government forces, quoted in the Sunday Times [£]: “Marie Colvin was killed for exposing the Assad regime’s slaughter of innocent civilians to the world. The regime wanted to wage a war without witness against the democratic opposition.

Kath Viner in the Guardian: "When the prevailing mood is anti-elite and anti-authority, trust in big institutions, including the media, begins to crumble. I believe that a strong journalistic culture is worth fighting for. So is a business model that serves and rewards media organisations that put the search for truth at the heart of everything – building an informed, active public that scrutinises the powerful, not an ill-informed, reactionary gang that attacks the vulnerable. Traditional news values must be embraced and celebrated: reporting, verifying, gathering together eyewitness statements, making a serious attempt to discover what really happened."

Trevor Kavanagh on the Brexit vote in Press Gazette: “After the 1992 election we infamously said it was the Sun wot won it. That was probably an emotional spasm of release rather than a claim of actual impact. Most readers form an opinion well in advance of an event, whether it’s an election or a referendum, I think if anything it was the Remain camp and project fear which influenced people more than the Brexit campaign. I suspect that had the Remain camp delivered a more upbeat and sunny view of what life was like arguing the benefits of remaining in the European Union they would have done better.”

Angela Eagle after launching her bid to be Labour Party leader finds political correspondents are covering Andrea Leadsom's shock exit from the Conservative Party leadership race instead  "BBC anyone? No? OK, Robert Peston, where are you? No? Michael Crick?"
