The commission, which intends to investigate working methods in editorial offices in the coming months, is part of the investigation into the scandal surrounding the News of the World newspaper. Among other things, it will make recommendations on how the interests of the press, politics and the police can be better separated in future.

The scandal surrounding the News of the World, which belongs to Rupert Murdoch's group, revealed that phone tapping and bribes to the police were common practice there. The tabloid was shut down in July.

Rumors had repeatedly surfaced that similar means were also being used by other newspapers and media. The British tabloid press is known for its often outspoken reporting - but the News of the World scandal has weakened Britons' trust in their media as a whole. Only 38 percent of them believe what they read in the newspapers, according to a survey published on Monday. A good half of respondents said the scandal had lowered their faith in the media overall.

Justice Minister Kenneth Clarke called for stricter self-regulation of the media on Monday. Only if this worked could the media escape state control. Among others, the parents of a young murdered girl whose phone was tapped could be called to the witness stand at the hearings in the coming weeks. Actors Sienna Miller and Hugh Grant, Harry Potter author Joanne K. Rowling and the parents of the missing girl Madeleine McCann could also be questioned. (SDA/DPA)

The backdrop for the almost seven-minute movie is an old command post on the Albula Pass, which now serves as a museum. The film was directed by Swiss commercial filmmaker Christian Aeby. The leading actor is the British actor Napoleon Ryan. "Albula" is about the young hiker Walter, who gets caught in a storm on a mountain hike and is locked in a disused command post inside a mountain in search of shelter. While searching for a way out, he discovers an old pneumatic tube system, a typewriter and a handful of small gold bars. Suddenly Walter has an idea of how to free himself: He starts writing a letter to send to the outside world by pneumatic tube. He suddenly turns to the spectator and asks him to get him out of his predicament. As a reward, he offers part of the gold. A rescue operation lasting several days begins, in which the viewers are actively involved. However, after entering their contact details, the viewers are still in the dark. Two days later, the letter written by Walter in the film arrives in a personalized form and with the next clue in the letterbox. Step by step and with various surprising twists, the viewer can solve the mystery surrounding Walter. The prize at the end is real gold.

"Albula" is being promoted with a trailer, various banners, a Facebook competition and Facebook iPhone films, among other things. With the combination of an interactive film experience, individualized surprise letter and personal online research, the campaign aims to create a link between online and offline communication.
