CLAUSE 4 of the IPSO clause (intrusion and shock) states that any reporting should be handled carefully and sensitively. This means that reporters can report a person’s death but should not invade the family’s privacy, should they wish to stay private.

Also CLAUSE 2 (privacy) in the IPSO code states that everyone is entitled to respect for their private and family life. This clause could only be broken if there is enough public interest that would justify breaking it.

At the inquest, reporters have the absolute privilege defence for a fair, accurate and contemporaneous report of what has been said in proceedings. Anything said by the parents after the hearing would not be protected by AP, if it has been said outside court steps.

A - You would consider Section 52(A) of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 in this situation. The statute prevents prejudice of a potential jury in a future crown court trial by restricting certain things from being reported.

B - The first and second paragraphs are fine because you are allowed to report the defendant's name, age, address and occupation, the name of the court and the charge.

In the third and fourth paragraphs, you can't include the prosecutor's comments because it refers to evidence.

You also can't include what is said in the fifth paragraph because saying he was a violent man suggests he's capable of doing it, and you can't report previous convictions like assaulting former partners.

You don't have to change the sixth paragraph or seventh paragraphs because you can report protestations of innocence.

- Yes, would have concerns.

- Clause 9 (i) of Editors' Code states relatives or friends of those convicted or accused of crime should not generally be identified without their consent, unless they're genuinely relevant to the story.

- The former chairman of the local parish council is not relevant as he has not been involved in the case, nor did he appear in court. He hasn't give his consent either.

- Using the image and quote from the previous article would therefore be a breach of the Code.

Q1

Under Clause 4 Intrusion into grief and shock

Approaches must be made in sympathy and discretion handled sensitively.

However, Clause 3 - Harrassment

If you’re asked to leave by the owner of the property must do straight away, but neighbour has no right to prevent that so can return later. But must not persist, so if you go back again and again get no answer, then leave it.

If want to approach parents at the inquest, must do sensitively and with sympathy. If they say no, then must respect that and not ask again.

Clause 2 also refers to privacy of life, health, home and correspondence - so repeatedly asking them and door knocking would potentially breach this too

Part A: Clause 4 of the IPSO code: Intrusion into grief or shock.

The code states that any enquiries must be made with sympathy and discretion and published in a sensitive manner.

Although the parents haven't told you to go away themselves, we are still obliged to leave after being asked.

Part B: Clause 4 makes it clear that there is no restriction on covering legal proceedings. In terms of approaching them outside court for comment, we could as long as we are sympathetic and discreet.

# data[].attributes.body
Section 52A of the Crime and Disorder Act ensures that the media do not report any details that could create a risk of prejudice. An example of prejudicial matter would be any evidence that is not outlined in the initial charges, the defendant's previous convictions or other details which could influence a jury.

As murder is an indictable only offence, there are certain details we cannot publish.

Paragraph One: Fine
Paragraph Two: Fine
Paragraph Three: We would be unable to report the details of the sexual advances

Cannot report previous convictions, can report the defendants plea

Clause 10 Clandestine devices / subterfuge

Must try other means to obtain the information before using hidden filming as a last resort.

Activity is illegal so there would be a public interest in detecting and exposing any crime being committed at the puppy farm.

Filming illegal activity may be the only way to disclose the organisation’s failure to comply with dog breeding/selling laws

For public interest, argue that publishing the information will get the puppy farm shut down and/or changed to use legal, safe practices.

For public interest, can also argue that the activity would show those who are intending on getting a puppy from the farm believing it to be safe/legit that this is not the case, and prevent people from buying dogs that will have any issues that come with being illegally bred

- First part relates to clause three, harassment. Door knocking in the first instance is permitted and I have followed the IPSO code by identifying myself upon request. Once the neighbour asks me to leave, I am obliged to do so. The code is not specific about who is asking me to desist or leave.
- As for the inquest, as a member of the press I have the right to report on legal proceedings. But I must be mindful of clause four, intrusion into grief of shock. When approaching the parents, I must do so with sympathy and sensitivity. Again, if asked to desist in the first instance, I must do so to remain in compliance with the harassment clause.

A - Name the relevant statute and briefly set out its purpose as regards such hearings.

Section 52A of Crime and Disorder Act 1998 restricts potential jurors from reading or hearing evidence that may be inadmissible when case goes to trial. It comes into effect for preliminary hearings at magistrates court, the type of hearing that is taking place in this case.

Explain clearly what can or cannot be published from each paragraph of the report above, detailing each decision by reference to the law’s purpose. Refer to the paragraphs in sequence as first paragraph, second paragraph etc

B -You can name Marcus Jones, report his occupation as a window cleaner, address and that he is being charged with murder. You can also identify Amelia Hopkins.

You cannot report any evidence such as Mr Jones making sexual advances towards Amelia or his fingerprints and Amelia’s blood being found on a knife. You cannot report he Mr Jones being a violent man as
