The Leveson Inquiry will investigate links between newspapers, police and MPs, as well as press regulations.
The public inquiry launched as a result of the phone hacking scandal is to start in London today.
The Leveson Inquiry , investigating the culture, practices and ethics of the press, will sit in court 73 of the Royal Courts of Justice.
It was set up by Prime Minister David Cameron after a summer of scandal, including revelations that the phone of murder victim Millie Dowler had been hacked and the closure of News Of The World newspaper.
Lord Justice Leveson, an experienced High Court judge, will sit over the hearings, supported by a panel of experts from the fields of media, law, politics and the police.
Speaking in July, Lord Justice Leveson suggested it was a time for all involved to put personal opinions to one side.
It will also review how the press is regulated and where it may have failed in the past.
With criminal investigations still ongoing, the Metropolitan Police and Crown Prosecution Service have urged caution.
Just another diversionary tactic to divert attention from the real issues of the day.
The country going bankrupt, uncontrolled immigration, public sector out of control, our soldiers being killed for nothing.
All this will do is consume ??????????? millions of our money and achieve nothing and we the British taxpayers will have to pay.
How did newspapers, police and MPs, as well as press regulations got away so many years without any one detecting of wrong doing?
