A report by MPs into allegations of phone-hacking at the News of the World is due to be published later.
The cross-party Commons Media Committee questioned journalists and bosses at the now closed paper, as well as police and lawyers for hacking victims.
Its report will consider the role of James Murdoch, who has denied knowing of wrongdoing at the paper, and other former News International executives.
The BBC's James Landale said their conduct was expected to be criticised.
The committee of MPs began its inquiry in July 2011 in the wake of fresh newspaper revelations about the extent of hacking at the tabloid newspaper, with reported victims including the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler and the families of victims of the 7/7 London bombings.

Analysis

Who knew what and when about the scale of phone hacking at the News of the World? It's a hugely contentious question and there are powerful reputations at stake.
Not least, James Murdoch's, who may face criticism from the committee for the way he and News International handled the phone hacking scandal.
But on the central question, MPs on the committee may believe Mr Murdoch's insistence that he did not know how widespread hacking went. His evidence was challenged by Tom Crone, a former News International lawyer and Colin Myler, the one-time editor of the paper.
The committee began its investigation in July last year as the full extent of the scandal was becoming clear. The MPs will decide whether or not they were misled, and by who, during a previous inquiry in 2009, when they were told that phone hacking was limited to a single reporter.
This is one of the most-anticipated select committee reports of recent years, but the MPs will have to ensure their judgement doesn't prejudice any potential criminal trials.
James Murdoch told the Commons Media Committee last summer that he did not see an email which suggested that hacking was more widespread at the paper than previously acknowledged - a claim disputed by the News of the World's former editor Colin Myler and its former legal manager Tom Crone in their evidence.
Mr Murdoch, who was among those recalled to give evidence, has said he did not know about any wrongdoing but took "his share" of responsibility for not uncovering it earlier.
He gave evidence alongside his father Rupert, who at one point during the hearing was attacked by a man who rushed forward from the public gallery and threw a paper plate of foam, which hit the elder Murdoch's skin and clothes.
That particular appearance was also the occasion which the News Corporation chairman and founder described as the most humble day of his life.
The Conservative MP who heads the media committee, John Whittingdale, has indicated the report would seek to address the central issue of whether there was a cover-up at the newspaper and whether statements made to the committee by witnesses were correct.
"We have been looking at whether Parliament was misled and who did so if that was the case," he told the BBC's Daily Politics last Thursday.
After initially claiming that malpractice was limited to one "rogue" reporter at the News of the World, News International has now settled dozens of civil cases admitting liability for hacking between 2001 and 2006.
More than 6,000 possible victims have been identified and the police have so far made a number of arrests in connection with an investigation reopened in January 2011 - although no charges have yet been brought.
Steve Hewlett of BBC Radio 4's Media Show said Tuesday's report would not draw a line under the phone-hacking affair, although it was likely to criticise James Murdoch.
'Shielded'
But if MPs did find evidence of a corporate cover-up by others - which appeared likely, he said - then serious questions would have to be raised over whether News Corporation was a fit and proper owner of 39% of the satellite broadcaster, BSkyB.

Phone hacking probes * Leveson Inquiry - judicial probe into press standards, investigating the extent of unlawful or improper conduct at News International and other newspaper groups. It will also examine the original police probe into phone hacking * Operation Weeting - police investigation into alleged phone-hacking at News of the World * Operation Elveden - police investigation into inappropriate payments to officers * Operation Tuleta - police investigation into allegations of computer hacking * Civil action by alleged hacking victims. Thousands of potential victims identified and several, including singer Charlotte Church, already awarded damages
Media regulator Ofcom is currently looking into that issue.
The hacking revelations led to the closure of the News of the World and the government's decision to set up a judicial inquiry into press standards headed by Lord Leveson.
Appearing before the Leveson inquiry last week, Rupert Murdoch said there had been a "cover-up" which "shielded" senior figures at the paper and its parent company - including himself and his son James - from knowledge of wrongdoing taking place.
Among others cross-questioned by MPs during their inquiry included former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks, former NI chairman Les Hinton and former Met Police deputy commissioner John Yates - who decided against opening a new hacking inquiry in 2009.
The committee, which previously investigated hacking as part of a report into press standards in 2010, has said it was unable to publish its latest report before now due to the amount of evidence that emerged during its public hearings
