They are both.
Most of the stuff that is being looked at by Leveson is illegal anyway, so I don't see what needs regulating. Just prosecute the papers that did it, make "I was unaware" meaningless in prosecutions against the owners.

Define "Public Interest" more clearly. Leave celebrities alone and report some fucking NEWS!

Chips with fish. Fries with steak.

I care less about the celebrities and more about the members of the public dragged into the papers unfairly
"Crazed murder" SYFTS buys new socks.

It's in " " so we can whatever we like

All of it is currently illegal.
If there was any danger of the owners and editors getting 12 months in the scrubs for any of this it simply wouldn't happen.

They should do what they did with Financial reporting in the US, Sarbanes Oxley. CEO must sign off on it, if it's deliberately or negligently wrong, he goes to jail.

Make the owners interested in the content of their output because jail beckons if they don't.

Exactly this.
We don't need further legislation, we just need someone to apply the current fucking legislation.

The PCC is a waste of fucking time.

I think that when they get something completely willfully wrong, such as in the case of Chris Jeffferies
They should be severly punished and have to give over the entire front page to an apologyu and explanation of the legal tricks they use to print salicious gossip without the fear of libel proceedings.
