Courtesy of the Brits: An Inquiry into the State of the Press

LEAVE IT to the Brits to respond to a crisis with gravitas. Perhaps, to a fault, as suggested by Alan Cowell in his column on Page Two of the International Herald Tribune (December 4, 2012) where he writes about the Leveson Inquiry, which looked into the state of the British press after the phone-hacking scandal at the News of the World in July 2011.
