At the conclusion of his evidence to the Leveson Inquiry Mr Morgan asked permission to add a statement of his own, to which Lord Leveson reluctantly agreed.
Mr Morgan criticised the inquiry for only focussing on the negative aspects of the newspaper business “A lot of the very good things that newspapers were doing during that period are not being highlighted at all,” he said.
Lord Leveson rejected this claim and said that he had made clear on many occasions that “much of what the tabloid and newspaper industry had done was splendid and to be applauded.”
