Media Brief

I'm the BBC's media correspondent and this is my brief selection of what's going on.

The Guardian says that the Home Office abandoned plans for an independent inquiry into the News of the World phone-hacking scandal after a senior official warned that the Metropolitan Police would "deeply resent" any interference in their investigation. It says Alan Johnson "came close to accusing Scotland Yard of having misled him over the scandal" yesterday when, as the BBC reported, MPs debated the issue in a heated session at Westminster

Daybreak, ITV's new breakfast show which started yesterday, is very like The One Show. Reviewers in the Daily Mail and the Telegraph were unimpressed.

The Daily Mirror says hundreds of fans complained "Bring back GMTV" on Twitter.

Downing Street communications director Andy Coulson is the focus of a number of stories about tabloid phone hacking allegations in Tuesday's papers as shown in the BBC newspapers review.
