Listening in at the Leveson inquiry

The media scandal started with a single rogue reporter but is now tainting British governments, both past and present.

It has been one of the biggest, most protracted media scandals the world has ever seen. It started with a single rogue reporter but is now tainting British governments, both past and present, and could very lead to new set of rules and regulations for the UK media. This week, the drama intensifies at the Leveson Inquiry as former prime minister Tony Blair and current cabinet minister Jeremy Hunt take to the stand. This week's News Bytes: Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is one step closer to being extradited to Sweden to face allegations of sexual assault; the BBC misuses a picture from Iraq to illustrate its report on an alleged massacre in Syria; a small legal victory for a magazine in Myanmar could prove significant in the country's battle for a free press; and a media blackout in Greece after journalists there go on a nationwide strike.
