Leveson: My personal view.

is that, at last we have a way forward, to regaining a press of which we can be proud. In my view, we broadcast journalists have always been able to flourish and produce high quality journalism under the codes of conduct enforced by Ofcom or the BBC Board of Governors, or more lately the Trust. It's the way we've always had to work, and I have never come across a broadcast journo who's complained of interference.

Yes, we moan about 'compliance' from time to time - but that's mostly a whinge about red tape and forms rather than journalistic interference.

The big stories still get through.

And when they don't, there's an almighty furore (witness Newsnight) and heads roll.

Trouble is, the press is not going to accept this willingly. They will still call it 'state control' and press 'gagging' though it clearly isn't.
