Ex NoW journalist 'proud of causing a riot'

Ex-News of the World journalist Paul McMullan has told the Leveson Inquiry that he was "slightly proud" of writing a story that "created a riot and got a paediatrician beaten up".

Referring to the paper's naming and shaming anti-paedophile campaign, Mr McMullan admitted that he was "being frivolous", but added that the achievement was "writing a story of such an impact that there were riots".
