Anyone know of any good books on this topic,particularly around the WW2 era? I've been looking for ages and it's surprisingly hard to find :/

You could read Iverach McDonald, The History of The Times Volume 5: Struggles in War and Peace, 1939-1966 (London: Times Books, 1984).
It's part of the official history of the newspaper.

Unreliable Sources by John Simpson might be worth a look for a general history of the British press
