Update: Title change, to reflect research taken up in response to a challenge received from commentator (H/T) Grannus who opines that it wont happen here. So I did research and found one learned expert  in the Columbia Journalism Review exactly of that opinion. Link below (And bunches of other links via Nieman Lab in comments).

CJR Author's point: No precedents but trouble coming as we  pay for exclusive interviews.  As for Fox, the worse thing is everything they do is legal.

Original Text, pre update:
Brit and his crew can put this in perspective better than I, so consider me the messager, not the message.

However, thought Nightowlers might like a chance to contemplate a man who did not give up on hope. It's an interview with Tom Watson, the labor backbencher (MP, not in cabinet) on his life as one of the two MP's who took on NI and News of the World, even when Blair was playing message tootsie with Brook's footsie and warning Watson that the end was nigh.

Warning: he makes predictions, so if you want the chance to be happy or hopeful, you have to put up with spoilers.  Money quotes below the fold.
