The article is about the News of the World, which was the biggest-selling Sunday newspaper in the English-speaking world.
Its story started in 1843 by John Bell who believed that people wanted to read about crime and scandal. In the 1950s the newspaper sold in more than 8.5 million copies. In 1984 the owners of the NoW transformed it from a broadsheet to a tabloid and focused on exposing the wrongdoing of the rich and famous. But in 2006 people found out that the NoW journalists had used phone hacking and bribing. That led to the closure of the newspaper in 2011.

I believe the press should balance freedom of expression with respect for privacy. As we all know freedom of expression, or freedom of speech, is a vital human right, and all mass media in the world use this right when they try to find some interesting news and do it faster than their competitors. However, freedom of expression does not mean permissiveness. I think it is OK when newspapers write about people's wrongdoing, but I am sure it is wrong to write about these people's families or their health - this is called private information. The balance can be achieved if newspapers send some kind of pre-publication notification to people concerned. Or there must be some rules concerning the so-called taboo subjects.
Some people say that damage to the environment is the biggest problem facing the world. However, other people say that there are other problems that are more important.
Some people think that environmental problems are the most dangerous whereas others don’t agree.
I think that nowadays environmental catastrophe is the biggest threat. First of all, global worming can bring us a lot of troubles. If the ice melts, a lot of countries will be flooded. Second, Ozone holes can cause the death of a lot of lands. Also bad food, air and water can be the reason of various diseases.
At the same time there are people who say that overpopulation, lack of food and nuclear war can be even more dangerous.
In my opinion these people have a point. These threats can kill our planet too. Nevertheless, they are easier to control than environmental problems. Nuclear moratorium, new technologies allow us to solve these problems.
In conclusion I'd like to say that if we weigh all the facts that say that danger to the environment is the biggest problem against the ones that support other threats, we'll see that the facts that support the statement outweigh those against.
