Think 
about
it!
What are some of the most popular newspapers in your country?
Which newspapers do you read? Why? What do you think of undercover 
reporting? Is it ever justifiable? When? Why?
H
ow often do you 
read a newspaper? 
About 10 million 
people read one every 
day in the UK. The most 
popular newspapers are 
the tabloids, which are 
full of celebrity news and 
gossip. But where do 
the journalists for these 
papers get their stories?
Simple! Some have 
been breaking the law! 
They’ve been doing this 
by hacking into people’s 
mobile phones and stealing private information. 
Police found out about this back in 2005. At the 
time, reporters working on 
The
News of The World
(owned by media magnate Rupert Murdoch) 
were accused of hacking the phones of members 
of the royal family and other famous people. 
But it soon became clear that other celebrities 
were also victims. They include author J.K. 
Rowling, actor Hugh Grant and actress Sienna 
Miller. As a result of the scandal, Murdoch was 
forced to close down 
The News of The World
, 
and David Cameron (the British Prime Minister) 
announced that there would be an inquiry into 
the press.
Lord Justice Leveson (a 
leading English judge) 
was appointed to lead 
the inquiry. On 
opening the first 
session (on 14th 
November 2011) 
Leveson said, “The press provides an 
essential check on all aspects of public 
life. That’s why any failure within 
the media affects all of us. At the 
heart of this inquiry, therefore, 
may be one simple question: who 
guards the guardians?” The inquiry 
is focussing on three major areas: The 
relationship between the press and
