New Chair of IPSO; the Duchess's bottom.
Sir Alan Moses, the new chair of press regulator IPSO, gives his first interview; and the Sydney Daily Telegraph's decision to publish images of the Duchess of Cambridge's bottom.
Sir Alan Moses, the newly appointed Chair of the new press regulator, has today announced the
board members that will make up the Independent Press Standards Organisation, (IPSO). In his first interview since taking up the position, he talks to Steve Hewlett about the measures he'll put in place to make sure the body is independent, and his views on press freedom. We'll also hear from Brian Cathcart of campaign group Hacked Off, and columnist and former Editor of the Guardian Peter Preston, on what they think of the new appointments.
A picture of the Duchess of Cambridge, in which she is seen exposing her bare bottom, has been published by German tabloid Bild and Rupert Murdoch's Sydney Daily Telegraph. The picture, which was taken during the recent Royal tour of Australia, is yet to be published by any of the UK press although some newspapers have published a pixilated version online. Steve Hewlett talks to Sarrah Le Marquand fron the Sydney Daily Telegraph about the media's reaction to the pictures - which has included TV debates and radio interviews about her underwear, and Ingrid Seward of Majesty magazine on why publishing the picture is one step too far away from taste and decency.
