The Report looks at the new body that’s been set up to regulate the press after the previous one fell into disrepute after the phone hacking scandal. Yesterday the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) was officially launched as the new self-regulatory body for British Newspapers. It is the successor of the failed Press Complaints Commission that fell into disrepute after the phone hacking scandal was unveiled in 2011. The anti-hacking group Hacked Off have called IPSO a "sham regulator", and say they will continue to push for a statuary body closer to that outlined by Lord Justice Leveson. Joining Jonathan Steele to discuss this is Donnacha DeLong, a member of the Executive Committee at The National Union of Journalists.
