Four current or former journalists will be charged following an investigation into alleged payments to police and public officials.
They include Graham Dudman, the managing editor of The Sun, who allegedly requested or authorised payments of thousands of pounds.
He is to be charged with three counts of conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office, one of which is linked to a payment in return for information about the health of a patient at Broadmoor psychiatric hospital.
He also allegedly approved a payment request from John Troup, a former journalist at the newspaper, for details about the death of a prison inmate.
Troup faces one count of conspiring with Dudman to commit misconduct in public office.
Meanwhile, Greig Box Turnbull, a former Daily Mirror journalist, will be charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office.
Grant Pizzey, a prison officer at HMP Belmarsh, and his partner Desra Reilly, as well as Marc Alexander, a former prison officer at HMP Holloway, are accused of conspiring with Turnbull.
Pizzey and Reilly were allegedly paid nearly £20,000 for information about incidents which took place inside the prison, a number of which involved high profile inmates.
Alexander is said to have received £2,700 for information relating to events within the prison in which he worked.
The other people to be charged are:
:: Vince Soodin, a reporter at The Sun, who is accused of conspiring with a police officer to commit misconduct in public office by asking for the contact details of witnesses in police investigations;
:: Darren Jennings, a Wiltshire police officer, who is accused of misconduct in public office after allegedly asking for £10,000 in return for information about a fellow officer who was facing criminal proceedings;
:: Alan Ostler, formerly an assistant technical instructor at Broadmoor, who is accused of the same offence for allegedly receiving £900 from the Daily Mirror in exchange for information relating to patients.
All nine people were investigated by the Metropolitan Police as part of Operation Elveden.
They are due to appear before Westminster Magistrates' Court on September 5.
