Debate whether self-regulation of the press is adequate.

Petition Details

The UK press is constantly coming under fire for misrepresenting stories and misleading the public with inflammatory opinion pieces that purport to be news items.

Additional Information

“the press is given significant and special rights in this country ... With these rights, however, come responsibilities to the public interest: to respect the truth, to obey the law and to uphold the rights and liberties of individuals. In short, to honour the very principles proclaimed and articulated by the industry itself (and to a large degree reflected in the Editors’ Code of Practice)”.
- Sir Brian Leveson

Some newspapers are clearly failing to 'respect the truth'.
