The use of deception, hacking, and fraud has been a significant issue in British newspapers, leading to scandals and legal battles with celebrities for obtaining personal documents and messages.
Former Sunday Times reporter disclosed Mr. Lewis had assigned an article in 2004 using phone records obtained through hacking, contradicting Lewis' claim of only investigating the phone-hacking scandal.
In 2002, an article with Winnett's byline was noted for using materials obtained through deception, as admitted by a private investigator who worked for The Sunday Times.
Lewis' decision in 2009 at The Daily Telegraph to pay for information, although prohibited in most American newsrooms, raised concerns about ethical practices.
