Witness Statement Not yet Published on Leveson Inquiry Website
From the Guardian Website:
"Former News of the World deputy features editor Paul McMullan has garnered little public support for the hack's cause while trying to defend the trade in heated TV exchanges with the likes of Hugh Grant and Steve Coogan. In his new stomping ground of Kent, he's not having much luck either, reports the Indy."

| Richard Peppiatt |
Full Witness Statement
From the Guardian Website - March 2011
"In a resignation letter, Richard Peppiatt said he was leaving after the Star gave sympathetic coverage to the far-right English Defence League last month.
Peppiatt admits producing a number of fictional stories about celebrities during his two years at the tabloid, a practice he implies was sanctioned by his seniors.
The reporter, who was once made to dress up in a burqa, now accuses the paper of inciting racial tensions and Islamaphobia. "You may have heard the phrase 'the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil sets off a tornado in Texas'," Peppiatt wrote to the proprietor, Richard Desmond, in a letter seen by the Guardian."
