“Mr. Morgan cites the example of a famous celebrity's 14-year-old daughter, hospitalised with anorexia. Two years ago, he says, Mirror photographers would have door-stepped the hospital in the hope of getting pictures. Now, he says, the policy is to ring the girl's mother, make it clear the paper knows the story (from which she may conclude that other, perhaps less scrupulous, news media may also have it) and suggest publishing with her co-operation. If she refuses, the Mirror won't publish.”
