Download or read book British Media Coverage of the Press Reform Debate written by Binakuromo Ogbebor and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book provides a detailed exploration of the British media coverage of the press reform debate that arose from the News of the World phone hacking scandal and the Leveson Inquiry. Gathering data from a content analysis of 870 news articles, Ogbebor shows how journalists cover debates on media policy and illustrates the impact of their coverage on democracy. Through this analysis, the book contributes to knowledge of paradigm repair strategies; public sphere; gatekeeping theory; the concept of journalism as an interpretive community; political economy of the press; as well as the neoliberal and social democratic interpretations of press freedom. Providing insight into factors inhibiting and aiding the role of the news media as a democratic public sphere, it will be a valuable resource for the press, media reform activists, members of the public, and academics in the fields of journalism, politics and law.

Download or read book A Press Free and Responsible written by Richard Shannon and published by John Murray Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Press Complaints Commission was set up in 1991, British journalism was at an all-time low. In a democracy the media must be free but competition between tabloids had produced a press notorious for intrusiveness, tastelessness, inaccuracy, callous methods and chequebook journalism. The only curb was the old Press Council, funded by the industry itself and widely seen as a watchdog with false teeth. Some more forceful body was clearly needed; the question was whether it could succeed, or whether the Government's threat of statutory regulation would be carried out.
Download or read book Media Ethics and Self regulation written by Chris Frost and published by Longman Publishing Group. This book was released on 2000 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British press has been accused of drinking in the Last Chance Saloon. Now, with the coming of the new millennium, many fear that broadcasters are also getting a taste for the commercially-popular cocktail of sensation and intrusion that it sells. But does it have to be like that? Are journalists doomed to ignore stories about important public interest issues in favour of titillating tales that pander solely to the public's prurient curiosity? Are docusoaps and current affairs series based on questionable evidence replacing the award-winning documentary programmes of past years? Media Ethics and Self Regulation looks closely at the moral dilemmas facing journalists in their day-to-day working lives and examines the self-regulatory bodies that police the various codes of practice.
Download or read book Self regulation of the press written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Culture, Media and Sport Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-07-11 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The system of self-regulation of the press was constructed in 1991 in the wake of the Calcutt Inquiry 1990 (Cm.2135, ISBN 978011213523). This report, by the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, has been prompted by recent invents, including the conviction of Mr Clive Goodman, the royal editor of the News of the World, for interception of communications without lawful authority, and the press pursuit of Ms Kate Middleton, the girlfriend of HRH Prince William, where the Committee believes the press did not observe its own code of practice and where editors failed to take care not to use pictures obtained through harassment and persistent pursuit. The Committee feels the Press Complaints Commission response was inadequate, and could have intervened sooner by issuing a desist notice to editors. The Committee views these recent events as a failure on the part of the press to uphold certain standards of being mindful of the rights of individuals in the news, particularly the breaching of the Editor's Code of Practice by Mr Goodman. The Committee believes there should be a strengthening of the existing system of self-regulation, and commends in particular steps taken by the Press Complaints Commission to exercise more rigorous controls over the actions and expenditure of reporters. The Committee is though, severely critical of the journalists' employers for making little or no real effort to investigate the detail of their employees' transactions, as evidenced by the Information Commissioner, which showed large numbers of journalists having had dealings with a private investigator known to have obtained personal data by illegal means. The Committee believes a broader investigation maybe in order to examine the issues of press behaviour and the regulatory framework of the industry.

Download or read book Global Perspectives on Press Regulation Volume 1 written by Paul Wragg and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-21 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ground-breaking two-volume set, world-leading experts produce a rich, authoritative depiction of the world's press, its freedom, and its limits. We want press freedom but we also want freedom from the press. A powerful press may expose a corrupt government or aid it. It may champion citizens or unfairly attack them. A vulnerable press may lack supporters and succumb to conformity. It may resist, and overcome tyranny. According to common belief, press freedom involves social responsibilities to equip public debate and render government transparent. Is this attitude valid given that the press is usually a private, commercial actor? Globally, the health, authority, and viability of the press varies dramatically. These patterns do not conform to traditional divisions between North and South, East and West. Instead, they are much more complex. How do we measure successful press regulation? What concessions can the state and/or society demand from the press? What constitutes the irreducible core of press freedom? The contributions in Volume 1 look at key jurisdictions in Europe; whereas Volume 2 goes beyond Europe to analyse the situation in key jurisdictions in Asia, Africa, the Americas and Oceania. Each volume can be used independently or as part of the complete set. This work will be incredibly valuable to policymakers and academics who seek to capture the global picture for the purposes of effecting change.
Download or read book Responsive Regulation written by Ian Ayres and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1995-02-16 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book transcends current debate on government regulation by lucidly outlining how regulations can be a fruitful combination of persuasion and sanctions. The regulation of business by the United States government is often ineffective despite being more adversarial in tone than in other nations. The authors draw on both empirical studies of regulation from around the world and modern game theory to illustrate innovative solutions to this problem. Their ideas include an argument for the empowerment of private and public interest groups in the regulatory process and a provocative discussion of how the government can support and encourage industry self-regulation.

The roles of the various European Institutions in media regulation are also examined. States' approaches to a wide variety of matters arelooked at, from recent copyright developments to privacy and election laws The problems and success of these various alternative approaches are then analysed.
