Yesterday's Guardian newspaper carried a profile of Rebekah Brooks. It is written by Lisa O'Carroll and Nick Davies. Ms O'Carroll is an Irish journalist - from the west of Ireland.
The two-page spread makes for sensational reading. Below is a paragraph from the article.
"Brooks is almost indefinable – a contemporary shapeshifter, light and dark, adored and loathed. One moment, she is charming her way through life, the perfect party girl with her cheek and charm, taking Sun reporters to the annual love-in with their readers at an old Butlins holiday camp, chatting to the lady who serves the coffee in the Old Bailey canteen. Feminist journalists from the Guardian forgave her Page 3 and took her in as a friend when she joined the leadership of the Women in Journalism group. The next moment, she was Lady Macbeth with a BlackBerry, a model of cold ambition, a hate figure with her face portrayed as a witch in the window of a supermarket near the News International building in east London."
