'Lord Justice Leveson is poised to issue his report on regulatory reform of the press in the wake of the disturbing disclosures arising from the phone-hacking affair which led to the closure by Rupert Murdoch'
Following the hacking scandal which conveniently came during the period when Rupert Murdoch was trying to gain a majority share in BSkyB, I think press reform was inevitable. Some of the disgusting cases such as the Millie Dowler incident were voice mail messages were actually deleted, cannot be forgiven. The possibility of such incidents I think should be eliminated by enforcing regulations on the power of the press. Free press shouldn't be an excuse to evade people's privacy just to be the first newspaper to publish a story. I also thought Piers Morgan comments regarding what he said was not unethical behavior when he gained illegal access to Heather Mills' voice mail messages highlighted the arrogance the press have.
