A disturbing insight into the intrusive and unethical nature of tabloid story-getting was revealed to the Leveson inquiry earlier this week by the owner of a photographic agency.
Matt Sprake, who runs the NewsPics agency, told of carrying out surveillance on more than 300 people in a two-year period, almost always involving the use of covert photography.
The inquiry ensured that the names the people were redacted from the list supplied by Sprake but two of his targets were specifically mentioned during his questioning - Gerry and Kate McCann.
