Abstract
As the result of an action brought by Max Mosley, son of Sir Oswald, against the News of the World, the media face another reading of the law regarding privacy. The BJR argues, as has journalist John Pilger, that "The lost issue is to protect the public from the state, not the press" and urges the creation of a press industry-wide council to examine the issue of privacy and intrusion. It could take on a role similar to that of a parliamentary select committee, investigating every aspect of privacy and its preservation against the depredations of the state the media, with its findings stimulating a serious debate not just among politicians, but among members of the public, too.
