Critically examining current journalistic practices using both
theoretical and applied approaches, this book addresses the
interplay between the right to free expression (and what that means
to a free press) and the right to privacy. Privacy, and the
criticism that journalists unreasonably and regularly invade it in
order to get a "good story", is the most significant ethical
dilemma for journalists, alongside accurately reporting the truth.
Where is the line between fair exposure in the public interest and
interesting the public? This book explains what privacy is, why we
need it and why we go to some lengths to protect it. The law, the
regulators, the key court cases and regulator complaints are
covered, as well as issues raised by new technological
developments. The book also briefly examines regulators in Ireland
as well as privacy and free expression elsewhere in Europe and in
North America, considering the contrary cultures of the two
continents. This insightful exploration of privacy and journalism
combines theory and practice to provide a valuable resource for
both Media and Journalism students and working journalists.
