Leveson report to be published amid intense debate on nature of regulation

Political and public opinion divided over reforms as 16-month inquiry into 'culture, practices and ethics of the press' concludes

On what is likely to be a landmark day for politicians, the media and the police, Lord Justice Leveson's report into the future regulation of the press will be published after a 16-month public inquiry that has seen the industry face unprecedented criticism.

Leveson's inquiry into "the culture, practices and ethics of the press" will make recommendations on how regulation should be reformed, amid a fierce debate within Westminster and the media as to what the most appropriate model of reform should look like – whether a form of statutory regulation or a more robust model of "self-regulation".

The threat of a coalition split over press regulation is looming as Conservative cabinet sources accused the Liberal Democrats of playing a dangerous game by appearing to back state regulation before the publication of the 2,000-page verdict on media ethics.

The deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg, met the prime minister, David Cameron, on Wednesday to discuss their approach to the report. Cameron is expected to call for a tough new independent press complaints body capable of imposing fines, while keeping the option of statutory regulation on the table for a later date if the new regulatory body is not working.
