Petition Government charter on the press' rights

More details

A charter to be agreed on by the press, put forth by the government, to be signed by the press on their conduct. As sometimes being '*in the public interest' is not a justifiable reason for false accusations and ruining peoples reputations. We would also like bigger statements/published material, of apologies to be made by the press in the future when the break the press code or possible future press charter, and a bigger fine to be implement on those who do as well. This e-petition has also been set up with the Leveson and such other inquiries in mind, of which their no resolved, and much needed, conclusion.
