Definition of the Public Interest (2)
Editors' Code of Practice, 2004 - framed by the newspaper and periodical
industry and ratified by the
Press Complaints Commission
on 28 April 2004
1. The public interest includes, but is not confined to:
i) Detecting or exposing crime or serious impropriety.
ii) Protecting public health and safety.
iii) Preventing the public from being misled by an action or statement of
an individual or organisation.
2. There is a public interest in freedom of expression itself.
3. Whenever the public interest is invoked, the PCC will require editors
to demonstrate fully how the public interest was served.
4. The PCC will consider the extent to which material is already in the public
domain, or will become so.
5. In cases involving children under 16, editors must demonstrate an exceptional
public interest to override the normally paramount interest of the child.
but... Editors and journalists can be excluded from the BBC... In the 'public
interest'
"If and whenever in the opinion of the Secretary of State an emergency shall
have arisen in which it is expedient in the public interest that Her Majesty's
Government in the United Kingdom shall have control over the broadcasting
or transmission of any matter whatsoever by means of the stations or any
of them, it shall be lawful for the Secretary of State to direct and cause
the stations or any of them or any part thereof to be taken possession of
in the name and on behalf of Her Majesty and to prevent the Corporation from
using them, and also to cause the stations or any of them or any part thereof
to be used for Her Majesty's service, or to take such other steps as he may
think fit to secure control over the stations or any of them, and in that
event any person authorised by the Secretary of State may enter upon the
stations or any of them and the offices and works of the Corporation or any
of them and take possession thereof and use the same as
aforesaid."
Section 8.3 - BBC Agreement - Department of National Heritage 1995
As an onetime BBC Radio reporter (GLR, Solent, Wiltshire Sound
see bio.)
- I was shocked to discover that, under some circumstances, government ministers
have the right to bar BBC journalists from their workplace. Replacing them
with government 'officials'. This is the sort of thing one might expect in
a Stalinist or fascist dictatorship - but never in a democracy.
