Philip, Do you know have a url that can conveniently link to the NUJ presentation to Leveson? Lesley ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lesley Newson College of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Exeter Department of Environmental Science and Policy, UCDavis Culture editor of The Evolution Institutes's online magazine: Evolution: This View of Life (http://www.binghamton.edu/thisviewoflife/index.php) ________________________________________ From: psci-com: on public engagement with science [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of hmptnu [[log in to unmask]] Sent: 16 March 2012 13:17 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [PSCI-COM] How feeble media regulation is harming the public interest The PCC is finally going, and good riddance! The NUJ has been campaigning for its closure as an ineffective body for over two years (one senior member has studied every single PCC decision over the last 20 years!). But it was recent revelations in Leveson that delivered the coup de grace. If you want to see better media regulation, please write to your MP and ask him/her to support the NUJ's view (being presented to Leveson) that any new body should incorporate ordinary working journalists and lay members on its ruling body (rather than just publishers and managing editors).
