Could Mr. Browne briefly outline the principles of professionalism attributed to journalism generally that he discussed in his opening statement and the National Union of Journalists code of conduct? Are they one and the same thing or are they separate? What sectors of the media do they cover? Do they just cover print, radio and television or do they include online media coverage? Could Mr. Browne explain how journalism is regulated as a profession in Ireland and the role of the Press Council of Ireland and the Office of the Press Ombudsman in that regard? Are they bound by the same regulatory codes and standards?
