Regulating The Media

Analysing the regulation of privacy and the media in the digital age

Introduction

This year we have seen groundbreaking revelations including the News of the World phone-hacking scandal, breach of super-injunctions and the continued constant surveillance of celebrities. The balance between privacy and freedom of expression continues to take a spotlight in the media sphere with the press taking every opportunity to secure a story and, celebrities fighting tooth and nail to retain anonymity. The increasing use of social media brings new challenges and the recent breach of a super-injunction via Twitter shows that some users think they are beyond the law.

This topical event allows you to obtain practical and tactical guidance on the boundaries of responsible journalism.
