Description - Sex, Lies and Democracy by Hugh Stephenson
Do the Press have a case for asserting their right and moral obligation to call figures in the public eye to account? Or is it time for the government to abandon the Press Complaints Commission and introduce some legislation to deal with the problem? Is there really a problem? The question of the accountability and regulation of the press has become a central theme of contemporary British life and is the focus of this book. It examines the existing systems of regulation, both formal and informal, and the social and political context in which they have developed. It takes the British Press as the most dramatic illustration of the "problem press" and provides a European context to the study where a pattern of press accountability has begun to emerge. It explores the social responsibility of the press by assessing its relationship to democracy within Britain and then compares the press to other liberal, democratic traditions.
