PCC Seminar

This week, we visited the PCC office in London. It was great to cover the Code of Practice in more detail, which specific regard to Public Interest which I wasn't very clear on.

Before the talk, I felt like there were some conflicting points such as allowing journalists to have freedom of speech yet still respecting people's privacy, but this was straightened out with current examples.

I had thought that all commissioners were ordinary members of the public, but 7 are from the media industry and 10 are laymen.
