The Boy with the Rebel Tattoo
An interview with a would-be rock star â âSean Torinoâ
I think I was born with the word ârebelâ tattooed somewhere inside me, so the hedonistic side of the music industry was always gonna get me.
My first brush with music came as a child, in the early 70âs, discovering bands like Slade, Sweet, and T-Rex. Later, on a trip to Canada in 1976, I discovered a glam-rock band called Kiss; thatâs whenâŠ

The Unexpected Virtue of Not-âFriend Requestingâ-Every-Person-You-Meet
For the last two weeks I have been living and working in London, one of the most diverse and exciting cities in the world. Even in such a brief period, I have been fortunate enough to meet some genuinely really interesting and inspiring people.
Somewhat accidentally, I have avoided becoming âfriendsâ with most of them on Facebook, or any other form of social media. Not because I have no interestâŠ

Reporting Elections
It is important for journalists to take caution when reporting on elections of any kind, General or otherwise, because certain laws come into effect which apply specifically to covering elections.
Every broadcaster will have, in addition, their own guidelines and codes of conduct on the subject (see here for more on press regulation) which journalists must stick to, but most of these expand onâŠ

Privacy & Confidentiality
The law of confidence is designed to safeguard information arising from confidential situations, i.e. what is said between private individuals, or between and employer and their employees.
It is closely married with the right to privacy, an idea introduced into British law in section 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights by the Human Rights Act 1998, as well as the often conflictingâŠ

Copyright
Copyright law is an important area in journalism, one which can be both beneficial and detrimental to journalists.
It is designed to protect a person/s intellectual property, which is defined by McNaeâs Essential Law for Journalists as âthe product of skill, creativity, labour or timeâ. In other words, the unique product of a personâs or groupâs intellectual work.
Intellectual property can referâŠ

Privilege
Privilege is a legal defence which offers protection for journalists (conditionally), and allows them to report on material which may be defamatory or untrue.
It protects journalists from facing legal action, i.e. being sued for libel, provided journalists meet certain conditions in their reporting. There are two types of privilege and the conditions which must be met differ depending on the type.

Libel and Defamation
NB: Since my previous post about libel and defamation there has been a change to the law in this area, following the Defamation Act 2013. These changes, which I will discuss, are generally beneficial for writers and journalists.
Libel
Libel is a huge danger area for journalists; losing legal action for libel can, at best, result in large monetary settlements and severely damage a journalistâsâŠ

Press Regulation: Codes of Conduct, Practice and Ethics
Codes of Practice and Ethics
While the law establishes a framework for journalism to operate in, and puts into place legal limitations (laws regarding defamation, contempt and copyright etc.), it is also important to have other bodies, outside of the law, to operate as regulators to direct journalists and provide ethical guidelines. These regulatory bodies are almost the conscience of journalism, upholding certain moralâŠ

(Re-)Introduction to Media Law
Basic outline of the legal system:
Law is divided into two areas: Civil Law and Criminal Law. These two areas handle different types of cases to the other, and the process of trying cases also differs.
Criminal Law deals with offences committed by a person/s which are harmful or threatening to another person/s, property, or the state. Although the UK is, for all intents and purposes a republic,âŠ

Reporting Crime
Reporting on criminal activity is one of the areas of journalism which carries the most potential risk for a journalist, broadcaster or publisher, because the law around what can and cannot be said is extremely strict, and there is little leniency for anyone who is found to break it; even inadvertently.
The two prohibited acts a journalist risks committing when reporting on a crime are contemptâŠ

Existentialism
Existentialism
âExistence precedes essenceâ â Jean-Paul Satre
Existentialism is a philosophical and cultural movement, born in the late 19th and early 20th century, which focusses on the importance of the individual â a thinking, feeling, acting human being. It is a catch-all term for philosophers who shared the belief that all philosophical thinking should begin by thinking about existence;âŠ

Adam Smith (1723-1790) was a Scottish moral philosopher and economist. An empiricist, and one of the key figures of the Scottish enlightenment; Smith is often cited as the âfather of modern economicsâ.
Smithâs great work, The Wealth of Nations, uses examples of real people (case studies) and thinks he has found the universal law of human behaviour based on these.âŠ
