Summary/opnion :

Basically the Leveson states that we need to make a difference between organisations that have a lot of power e.g Rupert Murdoch as he owns a media conglomerate in which they can do a lot of harm with information. Mainly most newspapers signed up to implement most of Lord Justice Leveson's non-statutory recommendations in which they sign 40 of leveson's first 47 recommendations as 7 of them resulted to a proposed role for OFCOM in auditing the work of the regulator.


But regulating press will make a big problem in free speech and threatening freedom of expression this links with the new and digital media of today's society allows people to speech about what is on there mind through blogs, social networking sites even though sites like twitter are regulated time to time, people don't necessary get away with freedom of speech.
