Case Against the Broadcasting Standards Authority

By Media Matters President, JOHN TERRIS

Thursday, 8 September 2011

The case against the Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) for their dereliction in fining one of our members, Donald McDonald, for making a complaint of inaccuracy against TVNZ news, has been widely upheld by Russell Brown (Media7), Brian Edwards (Media Commentator), and the Science Media Centre (composed of some of our top scientists).

We are keen for the BSA's decision to be tested in court and have approached leading Civil Rights Lawyer Tony Ellis who agrees with us.
