Harriet Harman MP, the new shadow secretary of state for culture, media and sport, on 大象传媒 cuts; Neville Thurlbeck on ethics, the News of the World and that "for Neville" email.

Harriet Harman MP is the new shadow secretary of state for culture, media and sport, replacing Ivan Lewis MP. So what are Labour's policies on the media generally and, specifically, on the 大象传媒 and on cross-media ownership?

Neville Thurlbeck was chief news reporter at the News of the World when it closed in July, where he had worked for twenty years. He was the reporter on the Max Mosley story and, separately, his name came up in reports of the Gordon Taylor phone hacking scandal when the phrase "for Neville" appeared on an emailed transcript of hacked voicemails. He denies involvement in phone hacking and tells Steve how he tried to clear his name when his connection with it was first suggested.

The producer is Simon Tillotson.
