I need help creating a thesis and an outline on How International Journalism and Media Laws Differ from the Legal Systems in England and Wales. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. England and Wales's laws differ from other European countries like Italy and Australia, depending on privacy and defamation laws governing the media, as well as regarding the age of criminal responsibility. For example, the age of criminal responsibility in England and Wales is 8, 14 in Italy, 18 in Belgium, and 16 in Spain. .
The media laws
The freedom of speech should be provided to the media, yet, the people have rights which need to be protected. the exact opposite of the media’s rights (Banks and Hanna, 2009, 2). France has been lagging behind in the freedom of the media, it being the last European country to launch the use of television, the UK being the first, followed by Italy, then Germany (Katisrea, 2008, 13).
In France, broadcasting until 1982, was a state monopoly, controlled by the minister of information and culture, and this ushered in a lot of manipulation from the government (Katsirea, 2008, 19). A law passed in 1982 is what brought about the abolishment of state monopoly in broadcasting.
In Greece, the media law prohibits advertising children’s toys between 7 am and 10 pm. NCRTV is the only independent authority governing the media in Greece. The media law prohibits any display of violence when broadcasting unless it is necessary aiming at educating the public about an occurrence (Katisrea, 2008, 20).
Comparing the defamation law in England and Wales with Defamation law in France
Privacy and defamation laws are used when trying to protect information from leaking to the public through the media. Defamation is an action which is civil, and which allows a victim of harm through the publication of materials, word or any other means, to sue the responsible party (Banks and Hanna, 2009, 305). The aim of the laws of defamation is to strike a balance between promoting freedom of speech, and that of protection (Quinn, 2009, 183).
The injunctions and super injunctions applied by England’s and Wales’s legal system to protect people from having their information published in the media are not applied in all European countries, yet, some countries like France have adopted the trend and privacy is incredibly common.
