Rebecca Television's editor, Paddy French, was a current affairs producer with British broadcaster ITV Wales for ten years before founding the website.
The magazine was also involved in the making of anti-corruption documentaries by the BBC's "Man Alive" and Thames Television's "This Week" programs.
Rebecca closed in 1982 after an attempt to produce a monthly title with a full-time staff failed and later relaunched as a website in 2010.
In 2013, ITV demanded Rebecca Television to withdraw the publication of an interview with Ron Jones, chairman of Tinopolis.
In 2022 Press Gang editor Paddy French was ordered to pay libel damages to journalist John Ware.
