How effective is contemporay media regulation? (for or against pcc)

How effective is contemporay media regulation?



FOR
  • voluntery for the news papers to sign up so they are more likely to comply with the rules but could be against
  • no legal wrangling, quick so it gets resovled and get an appology in the newspaper..
  • place to complain.
  • It's free for us, its paid by the industry, not the government and not our taxes
  • freedom of press






AGAINST

Max Mosely Nazi orgy
  • Invasion of privacy
  • not in the public interest
  • litigation is expensive- media has money to fight back 
  • got filmed with oout knowing 
  • publish and be damned 
Christopher Jefferies (joanna yates murder)
  • Wasn't wrong to bring his name up
  • but they sai he was strange
  • they said he was obbsesseed with murrder
  • went outside his house and wouldn't leave him alone
  • made him move out his house
  • ruined his reputation
Levison inquirey
  • says that the media needs to be changed
  • 7 inquireys in 17 years

voluntery- if they dont like the rules then they can just leave

The appology could only be little on page 17 even though the original stoy made front page so the damage is already done.

the public lacked confidence

lacks power

no legal basis

no fines
