William Thomas Stead fu un redattore di giornali inglese che, pioniere del giornalismo investigativo, divenne una figura controversa dell'era vittoriana. Il suo 'nuovo giornalismo' aprì la strada al moderno tabloid in Gran Bretagna, ed era noto per la sua cronaca sul benessere dei bambini, la legislazione sociale e la riforma dei codici penali inglesi. Stead dimostrò come la stampa potesse essere utilizzata per influenzare l'opinione pubblica e la politica governativa, sostenendo il 'governo attraverso il giornalismo'. Il suo lavoro ispirò molti a esplorare le dinamiche di potere tra stampa e società.
