A former Sunday Mirror journalist has pleaded guilty to intercepting voicemail messages in 2001.
The paper's former investigations editor, Graham Johnson, is the first Mirror Group Newspapers journalist to admit to phone-hacking.
Westminster Magistrates' Court heard that Mr Johnson, who will be sentenced at the Old Bailey on 27 November, voluntarily contacted police in 2013.
He worked at the Sunday Mirror between 1997 and 2005.
Mr Johnson came forward in March 2013 after hacking a phone to investigate whether a soap star was having an affair with a gangster in autumn 2001.
The court heard that he had been "shown by a senior person in a supervisory capacity how to access voicemails" and that he was not aware that it was a crime at the time.
He confessed to a "short and intense" period of hacking lasting three to seven days.
Granting unconditional bail, the magistrate said he deserved great credit for turning himself in.
In September, Trinity Mirror admitted for the first time that some of its journalists were involved in phone hacking.
Former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson, entertainer Shane Richie and actor Christopher Eccleston are among those to have received compensation from the newspaper group.
Trinity Mirror publishes titles including the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and Sunday People.
