Summary of story from The Guardian, September 6, 2011

Former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks is set to give evidence alongside several key victims of press intrusion as the first witnesses in a judicial inquiry into the UK’s phone-hacking scandal (see WVoN coverage).

Opening the inquiry into the culture, practices and ethics of the press at the high court in London, Lord Justice Leveson said although he would be conducting this inquiry with a degree of formality, he would not be conducting it as a trial.

He said he would decide in the next few days who will be granted ‘core participant status’.
