News of the World scandal: what will restore your faith in the UK press?

With Winifred Robinson. News of the World hacking scandal: David Cameron says it's been a wake-up call about the ethics of the press, MPs and the police. Do you agree?

What will restore your faith in the British press? David Cameron says the News of the World hacking scandal has been a wake-up call about the ethics and behaviour of the press, MPs and the police. He's ordered two separate inquiries: One, to be led by a judge, will look at criminal allegations that the paper's journalists paid police for information and hacked into the phone messages of celebrities, young murder victims and the grieving families of dead soldiers. The second inquiry will examine the ethics and culture of the British press and how it should be regulated. So will it get to the bottom of the scandal? How confident are you that things will change in the British media? Call You and Yours with Winifred Robinson. Your chance to share your views on the programme.
