Press Regulation: Bloggers Still Don't Know Where They Stand

Luke Massey | Posted 19.05.2013 | UK

Read More: Blogs, Press Regulation, Leveson, Maria Miller, Free Speech, Brixton Bugle, Brixton, Blogging, Brixton Blog, Leveson Inquiry, UK Press, Journalism, UK Media, UK News

The Leveson Inquiry provided a fascinating, if voyeuristic, catharsis for all those appalled by the excesses of media intrusion into people's lives - most notably the phone-hacking scandals of celebrities and other members of the public. But the resulting press regulation has thrown up a lot of questions - and confusion - over who exactly is to be regulated.

Mikey Smith | Posted 18.05.2013 | UK Politics

Read More: Press Regulation, Leveson, Leveson Inquiry, Hacked Off, Press Freedom, UK Justice, UK Press, UK Media, UK Crime, Blogs, Defamation, UK Politics News

The problem here isn't that the status quo isn't good enough. The status quo, properly implemented, works. If the police failed to investigate and prosecute phone hacking fully, the answer isn't a tougher regulator, it's a tougher police force.

How Not to Self Publish

Maybe teenagers end up in front of screen because they are all failed authors whose books unsuccessfully made an impact on anyone at all. Maybe you have to write a book or a collection of poems that is mysterious and Banksy-esque because then you're really making a statement.

Believe it or not, some people go to university because they want to study a subject just so that they can learn more about it. Not everyone goes to university with a chosen career path in mind, and many of those students also just simply like their degree matter.

What's wrong with newspapers? We could spend the next year struggling to answer the question, while traipsing through the undergrowth of the internet, of consumer tastes and news appetite, and of the competition for time, money and advertising. Newspapers are, of course, a format, not a media channel.

I signed up to a casting agency website a while ago. They advertised that they could get exclusive casting and auditions for anyone who signed up. So, like a sucker, I did. It was free. Since then, the emails have been ridiculous. Lacking in grammar, opportunity and sheer common sense.

Fake online reviews are not particularly hard to spot. When they're glowing, full of marketing speak, and from a new commenter, this should raise a flag for website owners and users. On the other hand, some hotels and restaurants have complained about malicious and unfounded reviews, some of which come from rival companies.
