Summary: Harriet Harman MP is the new shadow secretary of state for culture, media and sport. So what are Labour's policies on the media generally and, specifically, on the BBC and on the Murdochs? Neville Thurlbeck was chief news reporter at the News of the World when it closed in July, where he had worked for twenty years. He was the reporter on the Max Mosley story and, separately, his name came up in reports of the Gordon Taylor phone hacking scandal when the phrase "for Neville" appeared on an emailed transcript of hacked voicemails. He denies involvement in phone hacking and tells Steve how he tried to clear his name when his connection with it was first suggested.
