Freedom of the press in the UK

[netdoobage]

Hello everybody!

I'm a new member, 26 years old and had found this board with google (like many others ). I attend the 12th class at the BOS and try to pass the A-Level. In this term we must work out a "Fachreferat" (i don't know the english translation). I decided to make it in english - currently i know that was affliction - my issue is the freedom of press in the UK and i don't find any pieces of information in the web ...and this is my request:

Do anyone know webpages, books, or other sources where i can get pieces of information about the freedom of press in the UK? Especially the laws (4 major laws i think), differences between the UK and Germany and so on.

I hope someone can help me. Thank you in anticipation!

Have you tried the website of the British Press Association? Maybe they can help?

Hello Keswick!

Thank you for your reply. I have looked on the website of the british Press association, but nothing is helpful... Any other ideas?

Not really... maybe this site might help:

CecilWard, do you mind checking the dates of the threads you want to reply to. Netdoobage has probably passed his A-levels a while ago.
