Reports have found out that a few newspapers have started to leak pout private and confidential innformation about celebrities but even more obtaining illegal information, all the newspapers were questioned. The Daily Mail came out the top one.

Stephen Whittamore a detective,started to sell information he obtained from the police national computer until,2005.Alongside The Daily Mail other leading newspapers such as:

• The Evening Standard
• The Mail on Sunday

Came up in the top 10. Mr Thomas a commisoner has compiled a report on the tabloids and questions them why they are on the black market. The report is called "disappointing" which will be shown on the league tables of tabloids.

Another case is of someone who worked for Murdoch, Glen 'Trigger' Mulcaire is waiting for a sentence on taping into voicemails of the royal family and otrher celebrities that are associated with the Royals.

My opinion:

I personally feel these detectives are really stupid, did they not know that they would eventually get caught? Taping into peoples personal life is a intrusion into there personal lives even though, celebrities have exposed themselves into being in the lime light but every person no matter what class or status they have in society have the right of privacy. The sentences should be severe and maybe it will teach other newspapers who feel they can hire detectives to do dirty work should really consider the aspect of being caught
