Bring forth fair and balanced press regulation

Additional Information

There is not enough press regulation as there is in broadcasting in regards to the kind of content that is published in the press in various formats - online, in print, etc.

Time and again they have been caught out hacking phone lines for publication and business purposes. On a daily basis it is evident the press are distorting public perception and opinion of organisations, individuals and government affairs and situations - which is not in the best interest of the public.

Bring forth legislation that fairly and in a balanced manner, regulates the press to ensure objective and good-purpose journalism is forefront in journalism and that invading people's privacy is illegal and misconstruing or portraying particular events, situations, organisations or individuals in an incorrect or negative manner must be legally corrected by a correction in the same font formats as the offending article on the same page(s) to inform of what they did wrong.
