Documentary Description
In a programme first broadcast in October 2010, Dispatches examines
allegations that during Andy Coulson's time as editor of News of the
World, phone hacking was a routine practice at the paper and carried out
with his knowledge. Political journalist Peter Oborne
investigates the paper's working relationship with the police and claims
of undue influence together with claims of intimidation against
politicians, and explores the broader links between News International
and the current government. Andy Coulson resigned as David Cameron's Director of Communictions on 21 January 2011.
