The landscape of law, ethics and regulation
- The media are the eyes and ears of the general public, and free media is an essential element in maintaining parliamentary democracy.
- The European Convention on Human Rights has codified fundamental freedoms, including that of freedom of expression.
- Sources of UK law include custom, precedent and statutes and statutory instruments, and European Union Regulations.
- The two main divisions of the law are criminal and civil law, and journalists need to use correctly the legal terms appropriate for the type of court they are reporting.
