⚖️ Access to justice matters 🔵 Only 1 in 4 think the press pays attention to complaints from the public vs 4 in 5 who say it listens to the rich. 🔵 Only 1 in 5 believe an ordinary person would see a false/misleading story corrected vs 2 in 3 for a politician or celebrity.

🔵 Nine in ten people say the press often publishes exaggerated stories just to get attention. 🔵 Eight in ten think it fails to represent people & groups fairly. 🔵 Seven in ten say it often publishes false or misleading info. 🔵 Four in five think it often invades privacy.

The findings, released as @ITV's #TheHack concludes tonight with scenes at the #Leveson Inquiry, show many believe problematic practices like those highlighted by the series haven’t gone away. In fact, most think misleading reporting & unfair coverage are becoming more common.

🔵 Around four in five support major news sources being regulated. 🔵 More than half (54%) want a regulator independent of both government and the press industry, while only one in five (22%) favour a government-backed body. 🔵 Just 3% support regulation by an industry-run body.

Currently in the UK, the majority of the press is not operating under an approved regulator. Press Recognition Panel Board member & digital media expert, @Annie_R_Mullins, explains the risks if a news publisher is not recognised by the PRP, especially for members of the public:
