Media Standards: Statements, Questions and Answers
3:00 pm
John Whelan (Labour)
People with vested interests and conflicts of interest are appearing on television programmes. In some instances individuals with stakes in other financial products and currencies are talking about the collapse of the euro. This needs to be addressed and no good journalist has anything to fear from putting everything into the public domain. It is vital that we have a strong journalism and broadcasting sector which demonstrates impartiality, integrity and credibility. One cannot serve two masters.
