Abstract or Description

This paper outlines utopian dreams for better
and happier journalism and analyses some of
the crucial issues missing at the Leveson Inquiry
as well as the libel reform that parliament
failed to grasp. It examines critically the issues
relating to restorative justice emerging from
the ITN v Living Marxism libel case of 2000.
It argues that restorative justice solutions to
media harm and offence with constructive
remedies that empower rather than diminish
journalism are the only way to improve genuinely
the culture of journalism ethics in Britain.
It concludes that the ‘cycle of punitive revenge’
is destructive of the dignity as well as freedom
of the media.
