Press Regulation Homework

This week has been eventful for UK newspapers, with the government finally reaching a decision on how to regulate the press in the early hours of Monday morning. As you know, the Leveson Inquiry resulted in a series of recommendations about how the press could be better regulated. Those recommendations were bad news for newspapers, who claimed that press freedom would be compromised and that politicians should not be involved in the regulation of the media. Months later, David Cameron has had to come to a decision about how to please everyone. Your homework is to find out more about what that decision was. Make sure you:

• Write your findings as a blog post (add new post, not a new page).
• Write about 200 of your own words, imagining you are teaching this information to someone else. This is the best way to learn.
• Add links to relevant pages/images /videos.
• Consider what the new regulator will do, how newspapers have reacted and what Hugh Grant has to do with it all.
