BBC presenter Andrew Marr has given evidence at the Leveson inquiry into press standards.
He said that the country had looked "agog" at some of the evidence presented so far, but that the newspaper industry could be fatally injured by too much regulation.
"Without individual contacts... and a bit of wining and dining... I don't think the public would have known about the difficulties in the Brown/Blair relationship... and that was a really important story," he said.

Newsnight presenter Jeremy Paxman will later give evidence to the Inquiry, as will former Labour defence secretary Lord Reid.
Also former home secretary, Lord Reid's appearance follows that of fellow former Labour cabinet ministers Tessa Jowell, Alan Johnson, Lord Mandelson, and Lord Smith.
Tory MP Stephen Dorrell, who oversaw media policy as heritage secretary in John Major's Conservative government in the mid 1990s, also gave evidence.
The inquiry, sitting at the Royal Courts of Justice, is to hear from Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt's former special adviser Adam Smith and News Corporation lobbyist Frederic Michel on Thursday.
