Journalist Richard Peppiatt became a story himself when he resigned from the Daily Star earlier this year in protest at what he called the paper’s ‘anti-Muslim’ agenda.
His letter to Star owner Richard Desmond, who also owns the Daily Express, can be read here.

Richard is now a commentator on media issues for TV, radio and print and campaigns for press reform in Britain.
Come and hear about Richard’s controversial time working for the red-tops – and why he quit at this week’s journalism lunchtime lecture.
