Introduce statutory regulation of the media.

Petition Details

The British media have been able to operate for far too long without regulation. The government should bring forward legislation to create a statutory regulator for the media, to oversee the industry and take action when media outlets do not meet a defined criteria.

Additional Information

Freedom of the press is paramount to a free and democratic society, but there should be strict penalties for media outlets that publish or broadcast false or misleading information and statutory requirements for the prominence given to corrections.
