The big question is, what changes are going to 
be made as a result of the inquiry? Defenders 
of freedom of the press are worried that 
journalists won’t be allowed to investigate 
freely, and that new laws will be introduced to 
limit what they can and can’t do. At present, 
journalists often use undercover techniques to 
get a story, especially if it's 
in the public interest.
These techniques include 
making secret recordings 
and deception, such as 
posing as someone in 
order to gain entry into 
an organisation. For example, in 1887, reporter 
Elizabeth Cochran (1864-1922) pretended to be 
insane so she could get checked into a 
mental institution. Her report on the 
institution, which was published in 
the form of a book called 
Ten Days 
in a Mad-House
, led to changes in 
the treatment of mental patients. 
And in 2011, journalists secretly 
recorded FIFA members offering 
to sell their votes to host the 
World Cup. As a result, they 
uncovered a serious case of 
corruption. 
Will actions such as these now 
be prohibited? We'll have to wait 
and see!
