"Ink" in Venice: when journalism gave in to "tabloid trash"

Observador3 September 2026 at 12:59

The piece "Ink" was presented in Venice, addressing the transformation of journalism and the creation of the tabloid press. The story focuses on the encounter between Rupert Murdoch and Larry Lamb, which resulted in the conversion of The Sun into a tabloid, in London, on Fleet Street, in October 1969.

The production explores how journalism gave in to what is described as "tabloid trash," representing a significant shift in the British media industry. The play attempts to portray this crucial era in the history of the press in the United Kingdom.

Danny Boyle is mentioned as being associated with this story, although the article suggests he failed to capture the narrative in its entirety. The piece was presented in the official competition of the Venice Film Festival, where it competed for the prestigious Golden Lion.
