Media reporting: facts, nothing but facts?

This IRIS Special examines the principles of accuracy, objectivity and fairness in news and current affairs coverage by European media organisations. The issue is explored from a number of perspectives, including from that of media organisations, the Council of Europe, the European Court of Human Rights, member states, and judicial and regulatory bodies. It also includes chapters on a number of Council of Europe member states, discussing the regulatory framework that impacts upon this issue, including national legislation, case law, regulatory codes, and regulatory enforcement.
