Double edged sword here - there's no doubt that self regulation through the PCC has failed.... however the vast majority of the actions Leveson has investigated are already covered by law (hacking, harassment etc.).

I'm NOT in favour of statuatory regulation as when the state starts to control media we start down a slippery slope - I AM in favour of some kind of contract between media owners and an independant body where large fines can be issued without any political meddling.

Well it looks like state regulation is on it's way by the back door - who will that protect? Not joe public but the rich, powerful and famous!
