O caso Hutton e a BBC, os políticos e os jornalistas?
The future of journalism is at stake: Most people, even now, are more inclined to trust the BBC than the government - this one, or any other. [dica de Ponto Media]
[act.: ler também este excerto do relatório, recuperado pelo Mar Salgado: The communication by the media of information (including information obtained by investigative reporters) on matters of public interest and importance is a vital part of life in a democratic society. However the right to communicate such information is subject to the qualification (which itself exists for the benefit of a democratic society) that false accusations of fact impugning the integrity of others, including politicians, should not be made by the media. Where a reporter is intending to broadcast or publish information impugning the integrity of others the management of his broadcasting company or newspaper should ensure that a system is in place whereby his editor or editors give careful consideration to the wording of the report and to whether it is right in all the circumstances to broadcast or publish it.]
