    About this ebook

    The Reporter’s Tale is an adventure story about Tom Davies, a young Welsh writer who travels the world looking for the truth and, in a few days of blistering revelation in Malaya, finds it in a series of visions.Thereafter, he takes his new insights on a journey through the media, becoming a reporter for top Sunday newspapers – and later an award-winning author of many books – and realising he has a fresh understanding of the causes of the violence which is so blighting the modern world.His odyssey of discovery begins in Northern Ireland at the height of the Troubles where he finds that the media – with its persistent pursuit of violence – is the cause of much of the disorder there.The global media, which specialises in reporting the worst of everything from everywhere, has become the mother and father of modern terrorism, he says, giving the IRA disproportionate power and importance merely because they offer violence. Television in particular is the catalyst for the growing disorder in our streets: becoming the very leader of street riot while also giving motive and reward to suicide bombers.The many revolutions of the Arab Spring are fully explained by his visions, he shows. Here the world’s media first began feeding on the self-immolation of a Tunisian trader before spawning revolution after revolution in neighbouring countries. They all wanted freedom and democracy, we were told, but all that seemed to be happening was that they were deranged by watching too much television news as each service, particularly Al Jazeera, spooled out violent imagery on an almost twenty four hour loop mostly from footage downloaded from their viewers’ mobile phones.All outlets of the media have come together and conspired to set loose a tide of evil which is turning violence into the very oxygen we are all now breathing, Davies shows in this book which may well be the most powerful and trenchant attack ever mounted on the tyranny of the modern media.

    Tom Davies

    Tom was born in the south-east of England (even he hesitates to use the phrase 'grew up'), and has been writing bizarre stories since he was able to hold a pen. He's lived in East Sussex, Kent, Somerset and France, and spent time in a variety of other parts of the UK for reasons too ridiculous to get into here (some involving women, but most involving work). He's a writer in his spare time, of which he has lots in the winter and virtually none in the summer. Given a chance he'll talk your leg off about whatever is pinging around in his overactive brain. He thought it unlikely that anyone would make him a fan page on facebook, but it turns out that he has awesome friends (and fans)! He also feels a bit weird for writing this in the third person, but he won't let it bother him too much.
