What a difference a year makes. It is barely 12 months since Lord Justice Leveson closed part three of his inquiry, dealing with media plurality and the relationship between politicians and the press. Amidst the drama and celebrity fanfare around the phone-hacking evidence, it is easy to forget an equally dramatic postscript in the spring of 2012: the unprecedented six-week period when a procession of democratically elected prime ministers, including the current incumbent, took to the stand and conceded publicly that they had surrendered too much power to big media corporations. They had not, they admitted, applied the kind of regulatory constraints to the media that are essential for a thriving democracy.
