What will Lord Justice Leveson conclude about the future of the British press?

Talk July 19, 2012 7:00 PM

It has been a year since the Prime Minister announced an inquiry examining the culture, practices and ethics of the media in light of the phone-hacking scandal. Since then we have heard from journalists, editors, proprietors, politicians and victims of phone-hacking.

As the hearings draw to a close and Lord Justice Leveson begins his report, we will be holding a special event in association with Index on Censorship to discuss what we have learned and the key issues Leveson will have to tackle.

Join us with a panel to map out the questions Leveson will be asking. How should public interest be defined? Is regulation required and if so, what would its purpose be? How should relationships between journalists, proprietors, politicians and police be conducted in the future?

Chaired by writer, broadcaster and filmmaker, Jonathan Dimbleby.

Panelists to be confirmed. 

In association with Index on Censorship
