    Memo
    To: Press Regulation Committee Members
    From: The Prime Minister’s Office
    Date: 03/01/17
    Re: Press Regulation Workgroup

    Dear Committee,

    As you all know from our previous meetings, the matter of public trust in our press
    and issues concerning morals and standards relating to newsgathering are still of the upmost
    importance to this government. As such, I would like you to focus your next meeting on
    coming up with some answers to how we can improve the situation and the best way to
    implement any policy that can achieve our aims.
    The main question we should ask ourselves when considering regulation is how do we
    ensure that the press is both free and responsible? To answer this we need to consider two
    areas; the culture, practices and ethics of the media require examinations and the role that
    establishment and powerful media organisations and their motivation needs to be addressed.
    We may also ask ourselves if the following is desirable in a democracy:

    a) Press censorship and the question of restriction


    b) Monopoly rules enforcement to ensure a fairer press.
    c) An enforceable code of conduct or set of rules
    d) New privacy rules that apply to all citizens and organisations

    I look forward to hearing your views during the next meeting and trust that a frank and
    useful exchange of opinions can bear fruit this time round.

    Warmest regards
    The Prime Minister
