Do you care how your paper gets its stories?

The News of the World faces a new investigation into phone hacking allegations after more information has come to light.

There are even reports that phone hacking was going on as recently as 2010. Does it matter to you how the papers get their news? Are public figures fair game? Or doesn't the end justify the means?

We hear from callers on both sides of the debate as well as Paul Connew, former deputy editor of the News of the World and Daily Mirror - he says if the technology had been available when he was in charge, he would have used it.

Also on the programme, Tim Lawson-Cruttenden, a solicitor-advocate who has his own firm specialising in harassment law. He tells Nicky Campbell that privacy is important - and phone hacking is both a breach of privacy and completely wrong.
