Earlier today it was announced that Lord Justice Leveson plans to publish his report from the inquiry into the culture, practices and ethics of the press next Thursday.
The report is expected to be strongly critical of press excesses, and there has been widespread speculation that Leveson will recommend the creation of a new independent press regulator by the Government.
Here are some key numbers to emerge through the Leveson Inquiry.
97 – days the inquiry sat for over eight months.
168 – News of the World's age in years when it shut down.

48% – proportion of the public wanting much stricter media regulation but who do not expect the Leveson Inquiry to address all their concerns, according to a YouGov poll.
17 – times Rupert Murdoch said "sorry" during the last three hours of his inquiry evidence.

474 – people from whom the inquiry heard evidence.
6,349 – potential victims of phone hacking identified as at February this year.
