  8. For Press Councils, context is the key - publication not justified by mere curiosity, but genuine public interest in the information/image

  15. I've recently subscribed to because I agree with the idea of paying for journalism and freeing them from advertiser dependence.

  16. Swedish radio/press/police/academic panel on impact of threats & violence on media - "not a Turkish problem - the West is not immune"
