William Thomas Stead fut un rédacteur en chef anglais qui, pionnier du journalisme d'investigation, devint une figure controversée de l'ère victorienne. Son 'nouveau journalisme' a ouvert la voie au tabloïd moderne en Grande-Bretagne, et il était connu pour ses reportages sur la protection de l'enfance, la législation sociale et la réforme des codes pénaux anglais. Stead a démontré comment la presse pouvait être utilisée pour influencer l'opinion publique et la politique gouvernementale, prônant un 'gouvernement par le journalisme'. Son travail a inspiré de nombreuses personnes à explorer les dynamiques de pouvoir entre la presse et la société.
