The Leveson Study, a study based on the large hacking scandal where the media were paying off governments and hacking the publics personal devices to gather information and stories to create sales and blackmail celebrities.
At news international ,the police got Leveson involved in the hacking scandal
The Leveson report was released in November 2012, which examined the culture and ethics of the press and presented proposals for a new body to replace the existing Press Complaints Commission.
The Leveson inquiry was lead by Sir Brian Leveson, which started in 2011. This was shortly after journalists at Rupert Murdoch’s now unusable News of the World tabloid hacked the phone of a murdered school girl Milly Dowler. A young teenager was murdered and the body was supposedly never found, however when writing stories and gathering info the media, with the polices consent, hacked into the young girls phone and texted her parents to give the false idea that she was still alive, they did this to keep the story going and make more sales.
The Levenson study was created to reveal all of this corruptness and how the media needs to change, this was 10 years ago and the world has hardly changed.
