| Summary |
*Coarse Language, Drug Use, Sex Scenes*Following the success of Paper Giants: The Birth of Cleo, Paper Giants: Magazine Wars is the story of the Golden Years of the glossies, of the 'battle' waged by Nene King (Mandy McElhinney) and Dulcie Boling (Rachel Griffiths) from the rival Packer and Murdoch empires to make their publication the number one seller in Australia.Both women were supremely talented. All stops were pulled out to sell their magazines. 'Camilla-gate', 'Squidgy-gate', the Fergie toe sucking photos - no story was off limits. The boundaries of journalism were stretched like never before.Filled with humour, tragedy and outrageous tactics, Paper Giants: Magazine Wars charts the rise of cheque-book journalism in Australia from 1987-97; the age of celebrity power and Princess Di; of the paparazzi and AIDS; of media moguls, and two remarkable women who helped make them.The two-part series shows us the beginnings of where we are today - with an undiminished appetite for salacious stories, and journalistic ethics under the spotlight. Paper Giants: Magazine Wars is also a human story - it reveals the personal toll this 'battle' had on both Nene King and Dulcie Boling.Paper Giants: Magazine Wars also stars Rob Carlton, Angus Sampson, Khan Chittenden, Caren Pistorius, Lucy Bell, Socratis Otto, William Zappa, Alexander England, John Wood, Steve Rodgers, Sean Taylor, Rodger Corser.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Producer: Mimi Butler.
