I can 't help but feel a bit cheerful about the NoW and a few other tabloids getting some hefty stick over all phone hacking. They've given social workers such a hard time over the years that it would be very saintly not to enjoy it when the heat is on them for a change. But on the other hand I find it really worrying how powerful News International has become. It appears to have half the establishment eating out of its hand, though fair play, Sky News, did cover the story reasonably well yesterday, although the guests looked a bit anxious. Go to BBCiplayer and watch last night's Newsnight and ThisWeek and you'll see what I mean about the power wielded by this organisation. Which makes Stand Up Now for Social Work a bold and vital campaign. I've written a blog about it with more links.
