McCanns criticise press reform
The parents of missing Madeleine McCann have criticised reforms to the regulation of the press in the wake of the Leveson Inquiry as "a compromise of a compromise".
The McCanns are wrong say newspaper chiefs
Bob Satchwell, executive director of the Society of Editors, says the McCanns are wrong to think that the tough new self regulatory regime requires a statute.
He added that Lord Justice Leveson recognised that the "vast majority" of journalists were "blameless", adding: "There are complex practical and legal issues in implementing the new system, but the Leveson pathway will be closely followed.
The McCanns say they don't think new plans to regulate the press suggested by the Leveson Inquiry are tough enough.
