LONDON — Contradicting testimony by Piers Morgan, a former reporter said Wednesday that phone hacking was considered a “standard journalistic tool” at the tabloid once run by the CNN host.
Former Daily Mirror business columnist James Hipwell’s testimony clashed with Morgan’s insistence Tuesday that he did not know the practice was used at the tabloid during his time as editor between 1995 and 2004.
Hipwell gave his statement to a panel that is looking into ethical standards and practices of journalism in Britain.
