Top stories in the latest issue:

CRIES & SHINE
Rupert Murdoch's Sun and Times slammed the TV producers who "indulged Gregg Wallace's sleazy behaviour", but failed to mention the company at fault.

GUTEN ALLERGY
Publisher Reach plc is making around 50 staff redundant as it steps up its use of its AI tool, Guten – which is keeping the company's lawyers busy.

ANGLE GRINDER
Times interviewer Michael Odell is developing an interesting sideline: penning mea culpas for his failure to spot that his subjects are wrong-uns.

A FLOOD OF STORIES...
At the new digital-first Express there are no qualms about churning out negative stories about migrants, despite objections from its own reporters.

NEPO-CRISY!
Sarah Vine bemoaned "nepo brats" in her Mail on Sunday column – but there are some offspring she's quite happy to see get some publicity: her own.

ROGUE MAIL
The Daily Mail went to town on the manslaughter conviction of Constance Marten and Mark Gordon, but did not mention how it almost derailed the case.

SUMMIT AMISS
When Brian's director of communications met up with Harry and Meghan's people for a "secret summit", it somehow ended up all over the Mail on Sunday.
