Dr. Roderick Flynn:

I have asked that question of several Press Ombudsmen. We know who we are talking about here. There are bodies in there that would not be formally thought of as media, news and current affairs outlets. The Press Council's response to that is basically that it does not have a criteria for exclusion. To move into that space, you would be talking about changing the nature of the Press Council from essentially a self-regulatory body to a statutory Press Council. That is a major move.
