(ROUGH CUT ONLY - NO REPORTER NARRATION)<br/> <br />British Prime Minister David Cameron appears before an inquiry into media ethics that is likely to investigate his ties to media tycoon Rupert Murdoch.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE)(English) BRITISH PRIME MINISTER DAVID CAMERON SAYING:<br/> <br />"I think a lot of the evidence that has been put forward in the session you've had in which people have talked about the growth of 24-hour news culture, the fact that things move so fast, means that I think newspapers have been put in a difficult position because the news has been made and reported long before they've reached their deadlines and they publish their papers the next day. So I think newspapers have moved more towards trying to find impact, trying to find an angle on a story, rather than - as would have been the case before 24 hour news and all the rest of it - just reporting on what had happened the day before."<br/> <br />Cameron's once cosy ties with Murdoch's inner circle mean he is under pressure to pull off a virtuoso performance at the inquiry.<br/> <br />Cameron, who set up the Leveson Inquiry into media ethics himself last year after a newspaper phone-hacking scandal erupted, is due to be questioned for at least five hours, streamed live on television.
