regulation of the media
1. Media regulation is important because it stops organisations/businesses from going to far. such as hacking phones, invading privacy etc. Without media regulation lies can be spread, lives can be ruined and peoples careers can be ended.
2.In the docudrama 'The Lost Honour Of Christopher Jeffries' newspaper regulation was shown as ineffective. This is because of how much information they got and how deep they went into his life. When the lawyers are going around asking people from Christopher's life they all say how kind and thoughtful he is. Whereas the newspapers portrayed him as a peeping tom and a unusual person.
3. In IPSO's editors code of practice clause 1iii it says ' The Press, while free to be partisan they must distinguish clearly between comment, conjecture and fact'. This means if they strongly believe that someone has commited a crime and they want to write an article on it they have to say if its what they think, if the opinion is formed on incomplete information or if it is true. This is in the code of practice so if they do publish an article people dont instanley think the person is something they're not. This is so people don't attack them in the street or give them a bad reputation for things that have been said by the media and aren't true.
4. It is important for the press to have a code of practice so that they dont go too far and ruin peoples lives. For example the phone hacking that happened in 2011. The Press hacked into celebrities, politicians and murder victims families phones. This brought up affairs and ruined people's lives as a result. The effect on society is that people will think differently about people or things if The Press spreads lies or shows private messages or picures.
