William Thomas Stead fue un editor de periódicos inglés que, como pionero del periodismo de investigación, se convirtió en una figura controvertida de la era victoriana. Su 'nuevo periodismo' allanó el camino para la prensa sensacionalista moderna en Gran Bretaña, y fue conocido por su cobertura sobre el bienestar infantil, la legislación social y la reforma de los códigos penales ingleses. Stead demostró cómo la prensa podía usarse para influir en la opinión pública y la política gubernamental, abogando por el 'gobierno a través del periodismo'. Su trabajo inspiró a muchos a explorar las dinámicas de poder entre la prensa y la sociedad.
