The media today, and especially the national press, are frequently in
conflict with people in the public eye, particularly politicians and
celebrities, over the disclosure of private information and behaviour.
Historically, journalists have argued that 'naming and shaming'
serious wrong-doing and behaviour on the part of public officials is
justified as being in the public interest. However, when the media
spotlight is shone on perfetly legal personal behaviour, family issues
and sexual orientation, and when, in particular this involves ordinary
people, the question arises of whether such matters are really in the
'public interest' in any meaningful sense of the term. In this book,
leading academics, commentators and journalists from a variety of
different cultures consider the extent to which the media are entitled
to reveal details of people's private lives, the laws and regulations
which govern such relations, and whether these are still relevant in
the age of social media.
