Newspaper overview:
- Newspapers have been around since mid 17th century (probably earlier in various forms)
- Until the 20th century, newspapers were the primary means of bringing news to the public.
- Unlike news broadcasting , newspapers do not have to be imparcial they are allowed to have political bias.
- They are largely self regulating . they have a regulating body - IPSO, the independent press standards organisation ( was the press complaints commission )
- Leveson Inquiry 2011 - in response to allegations of phone hacking and tapping at The News of the World ( amongst other ) was carried out. it was suggested a code of conduct and tighter controls to be imposed - nothing has happened about this ( apart from the new IPSO instead of PCC )
