Does this then give the press the right to print inaccurate material with relative impunity? Should the public have a statutory right of reply to inaccuracy in the press? And how free is the press in a world of converging technologies and cross media ownership? Clive Soley and Tom O'Malley set the issues of press regulation in their historical context, focusing on the period after 1945. They specifically look at the history and record of the Press Council and assess the performance of the Press Complaints Commission. The book analyses the arguments surrounding attempts to improve standards by introducing statutory rights for the public, and the reasons for the failure of these initiatives. Focusing on issues of principle such as accuracy, misrepresentation and privacy, the authors reexamine the ways in which debates over press freedom versus regulation illuminate the fundamental conflicts between a fully accountable press and the economic imperatives of the free market economy. 606 $aFreedom of the press$zGreat Britain 606 $aJournalistic ethics$zGreat Britain 606 $aPress law$zGreat Britain 615 0$aFreedom of the press 615 0$aJournalistic ethics 615 0$aPress law 676 $a323.4450941 700 $aO'Malley$b Tom$f1955-$01740774 701 $aSoley$b Clive$01754308 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813932003321 996 $aRegulating the press$94190570 997 $aUNINA
