The Leveson Inquiry was established to regulate the press and establish rules and standards for media ethics and practices in the UK. It was launched in response to the phone hacking scandal, where celebrities had voicemails hacked. A recent event provided further evidence for the need of the inquiry - Australian radio presenters prank called the hospital where Kate Middleton was staying and obtained private health information which was broadcast. Such scandals and breaches of ethics show the need for the Leveson Inquiry to improve regulation of media organizations.
