The PCC deal with Magazines, newspapers and also dealing with newspaper websites. However they don't cover things on advertisements, books and blogs. You need to be connected to the text or image to make an official prosecution.
Libel is the publication of untrue and offencive statements about individuals. People in the public eye have been awarded large sums of money in court after suing newspapers for untrue articles. Sensationalism is the reporting style of the tabloid press. The first stage in sensationalism is choosing stories dealing mainly with sex, violent crime and other vivid material. The stories are then presented through graphic images an exaggerated, though simple, language. The overall effect is dramatic and eye catching. Inaccurate reporting is when an article contains details that are not true. for example. an exaggeration of what really happened or made up data and figures 5o help create a story. Offencive material is something that is offencive, upsets or embarrasses people because it is rude or insulting. causes anger or annoyance. For example an article or photo published to only cause shock and disgust. Chequebook Journalism is the practise of securing exclusive rights to material for newspaper stories by paying a high price for it, regardless of any moral impacts such as paying people to boast of criminal or morally reprehensible activities. Privacy and Paparazzi is the privacy of individuals can be threatened by journalists and paparazzi photographers. paparazzi are freelance photographers who doggedly pursue celebrities to take pictures of celebrities to sell to magazines and newspapers. Negative Representation is when an individual, group, religion or country are shown in a bad or negative way in the media. this may be unjustified or bias, with no evidence to support the representation. Public right to know is when journalists and editors are always deciding what the general public need to know, what is their right to know. sometimes this includes stories about the private lives of others, which newspapers say are in the publics interest to know.
Examples of each
Sensationalism - London Riots
It is a good example because it contains a sense of violence seen through images.
Libel - The sun tells us that Beoynce's baby isn't really Jay Z's.
This is a good example as it is made up and so it isn't true but its about a celebrity so that people would want to read about it as they believe its true,
Inaccurate reporting - Adele has cancer.
This was reported however it wasn't true as the actual problem was loose skin particles in her throat.
Offencive material - Look how much wait Cheryl Cole has put on (disgusting photo)
This would be considered offencive material as she will be offended and its a photo to cause reaction from the public.
Privacy and Paparazzi - Justin Bieber swears at paparazzi.
This would be a good example as he is being annoyed by the paparazzi and they are taking advantage of the mood that he is in to make him look bad.
Negative Representation - Kim Kardashian's wedding is over after only 72 days.
They haven't told her side of the story and it makes her look extremely bad.
Public right to know - Harry and Caroline are back on.
This isn't a right for the public to know but because they want it that's what the papers give them.
