Leveson poll: Should the press regulate itself?
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
And so it comes at last. Have you noticed yet? After 12 months and 378 testimonies, Lord Leveson is finally publishing his mammoth report today.
At stake: whether the press should regulate itself - the so-called system of self-regulation - through an independent regulator such as the PCC; or whether we need statutory regulation - that is, regulation ultimately run by the state (similar to other state regulators like Ofcom, which regulates the communications industry).
