William Thomas Stead was een Engelse kranteneditor die, als pionier van de onderzoeksjournalistiek, een controversiële figuur van het Victoriaanse tijdperk werd. Stead's journalistieke campagnes demonstreerden de macht van de pers om de publieke opinie en het overheidsbeleid vorm te geven, en pleitten voor 'regering door journalistiek'. Zijn aanpak legde de basis voor de moderne Britse roddelpers. Hij viel ook op door zijn indrukwekkende verslaggeving over kinderwelzijn, sociale wetgeving en de hervorming van het strafrecht.
