The Leveson Review was a judicial public inquiry into the British press’s culture, practices, and ethics. This came after the phone hacking scandal at News International. In November 2012, the Leveson report was released, which examined the culture and ethics of the press and presented proposals for a new body to replace the existing Press Complaints Commission. The inquiry’s full terms of reference were released in July 2011, along with a six-person panel. Sir David Bell (former chairman of the Financial Times), Shami Chakrabarti (director of Liberty), Lord Currie (former Ofcom director), Elinor Goodman (former political editor of Channel 4 News), George Jones (former political editor of the Daily Telegraph), and Sir Paul Scott-Lee QPM (former Chief Constable of the West Midlands Police) were among those in attendance. The overall cost of the Leveson inquiry, according to a response published in 2013, was £5.4 million.
