Guy Black: in the eye of the hurricane

The Observer and The Daily Mail, UK

Thirteen years after the Calcutt committee headed off statutory regulation of the press, the spectre of Pravda looms afresh, the director of the Press Complaints Commission tells Mary Riddell. There are times when the signals are at red, says Guy Black. They are now. There is a conjunction of things that spells danger: a Communications Bill and possible moves to bring the PCC under Ofcom. Besides the Gerald Kaufman's Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee inquiry, there's the unresolved issue with the Lord Chancellor over witness payments and his plans to legislate to outlaw them. That combination of things is a very nasty set of circumstances. I think it presents the most lethal cocktail of challenges since the death of the Princess of Wales.
