Who has the final say what is printed and what is shown on the tv and papers?

Answer 1

Theoretically, editors and/or news editors. It's is strange, however, how they all seem, in the main, to agree on what is newsworthy. It mat be reported differently, of course. The TV media always has a left wing spin put on it. Today, with regard to TV news media, it is not only the factual reporting of the news which they carry out, the person in the studio debates the news with their reporter in the field. This is one way that they have to impose their left wing interpretation of events.

Answer 2

The final say rests normally with one person the editor. Professional rules and practices that most newspaper editors follow that helps them decide on what to print are the following points.

1. Sobriety and attention to detail. Only proven and accurate stories should be published. A newspaper’s credibility turns on its ability to print proven and accurate news. The printing of information that has been checked is the mark of a newspaper’s sobriety, meticulousness and good faith. Rumours should not be encouraged. A newspaper does everything it can to discourage the spreading of a rumour, even if other media have already carried it.

4. Respect for the individual. A newspaper should inform without inciting discrimination, racism or violence. It abides strictly by the laws which ban incitement to discrimination, hatred or violence against a person or persons “on account of their origins or their belonging or not to a specific ethnic group, nation, race or religion”. Discrimination is defined as arousing in the reader feelings of separateness based on suspicion, hostility or distaste. Hatred means transforming hostility towards someone into a desire to harm them because of their membership or not of an ethnic group or nation. Violence includes both psychological and physical violence. Apart from these clear provocations, a newspaper avoids all material or labelling which arouses or risks arousing such feelings.

7. Avoidance of libel. A paper ensures that the honour and reputation of a person is respected. It sticks to four guiding principles:
- Legitimacy of purpose. A newspaper ensures that the facts are always presented with the general reader in mind, based on the public’s right to be informed. Priority is given to the event itself rather than the people involved in it.
- Absence of personal animosity. A newspaper avoids printing deliberately controversial articles about people which are inspired by personal differences with them.
- Moderation in language. A newspaper ensures that articles contain no language which is shocking or hurtful towards people.
- Reliability of investigation. The quest for news is based on the idea of listening to all sides of the story, which is at the heart of any honest investigation.

8. Be open to all points of view. The main parties in a story are sought out, with the aim of obtaining their opinion and handling the information in a fair manner. When a party refuses to cooperate, the newspaper tells the reader.

9. Respect for presumed innocence. Under Article 9 of the Declaration of the Rights of Man a person is presumed innocent until found guilty, which means by a court of law. If public interest justifies printing information about the person, respect for their presumed innocence means taking great care in choosing which details to pass on to the reader and paying special attention to the way they are presented.

10. Ensure the accuracy of news, and caution and fairness in its presentation. The principles of accuracy, caution, fairness and attention to detail expounded above apply especially to human interest stories.

There are also local laws that can not be broken without great risk. All of which is considered when it comes to the final say.
