Media Talk: Press standards, self-regulation and public trust - is the press accountable enough? March 18, 2009

According to a report published by the Media Standards Trust, the current system of press self-regulation is not successfully protecting either the press or the public. The current system is not, the report claims, effective enough, accountable enough, or transparent enough, and does not reflect the transformed media environment. So should Britain's system of press self-regulation be over-hauled and if it is, will it do anything to restore public faith in the press?
