Preferred term

British press regulation  

Definition

  • The history of Britain's struggle for a free press fills five centuries with official bans, threats, and laws passed to intimidate or silence journalists. The signal virtue of British press freedom is that it is long established and has been long fought for, which means its methods and institutions are often copied and frequently admired from afar.
