Lord Justice Leveson delivered his 2,000-page report this week on the "culture, practice and ethics of the press". His headline conclusion was that the current regulator, the Press Complaints Commission, has proved inadequate and should be replaced with a fully independent body, backed if need be by new law.
David Cameron, who commissioned the report following the phone-hacking scandal, initially rejected that final clause regarding new legislation. In a highly unusual move, the deputy prime minister Nick Clegg gave his own address to parliament in which he accepted Leveson's broad proposals.
Joining John Plunkett in the studio for this joint edition of our Politics Weekly and Media Talk podcasts to discuss what happens now are media editor Dan Sabbagh; former Daily Mirror editor Roy Greenslade; political columnist Michael White; and former PCC chair Stig Abell.
