Non-court-based Conflict Resolution Mechanisms for Media-related Complaints: Discussion
Mr. Daniel McConnell:
From a national perspective, it is almost head wrecking. We can spend a lot of time trying to verify a story and get to a point where we simply cannot publish it because of the restrictions of the libel or defamation laws at the moment, but we then see something being widely reported or spoken about on social media. That is a deep frustration.
