1) Relative size to apologies and corrections

ads7Guaranteeing relative size and prominence to apologies and corrections means that newspapers will have to take the correct care to ensure their information is correct before accusing and abusing individuals.

When the press get it wrong, as they tend to do, naming, shaming and accusing innocent people with inaccurate reporting, very often in bold front-page headlines.  The apology and correction must be of a representative size and prominence to the untruth that has been printed.  On many occasions (see your stories) we have been informed by the public of circumstances where individuals/families have had their lives ruined, shunned in their communities because people still believe the untruths that have been written about a family member.

In order to protect innocent individuals, any apology or correction must be of the same size and prominence as the lie.

    Cool! really cool! Not only that a post you read on one breath – so grasps and it is interesting, but also besides also in a head something remains. Usually posts you forget, as soon as you leave an Internet, and here is over what to think. I continue to reflect over this information.
