AN INVESTIGATION has been launched into claims that the Daily Mail engaged in Blackface ghost-writing by attaching names of Black commentators to racist articles they had not written. The probe by Byline Investigates and Expose News follows the revelation by whistleblower Dominique Samuels that she had consented to a case of ghost-writing and rejected another request from Daily Mail staff. Sorry?”As the row intensified, Samuels wrote: “It’s pretty much standard for newspapers to have ghost writers for guest columnists, and I thought because I’d never written for them before it would be fine. Ethics aside, it doesn’t make sense for a newspaper to pay out twice.”Know anything about this story? Email [email protected] and DM the investigators in confidence on [email protected]
