Brand New
Russell Brand (unlike his masters) has redeemed himself with a fulsome and thoroughly convincing apology to Andrew Sachs and the Satanic Slut. He must have been under a lot of pressure – in the video footage on the mediaguardian site he seems to have lost weight, with something Edvard Munchian about his elongated visage. And, just as puzzling, his beard has grown substantially in the couple of weeks since his misdemeanour. Has he refrained from trimming his stubble in an act of self-deprecation.
Whatever… he’s apologised and resigned, and that’s laudable.
The PCC’s rejection of JK Rowling’s complaint provides hacks with a lovely new loophole.
If you want to give your readers a celebrity’s private details, first post them on Wikipedia.
Yesterday the Press Complaints Commission generously granted tabloid journalists who deal in tattle extra protection from complaints about invasions of privacy.
JK Rowling objected to three newspapers revealing her private address and details of an adjacent property she has bought. Optimistically but with laudable intentions, she brought the complaint under the ambiguous terms of Clause three of the PCC’s fuzzy Editors’ Code of Practice.
The Commission rejected her complaint, although they had said in a previous judgment that when publishing details about celebrities’ home without consent, newspapers must take care to ensure that they do not publish the precise address or material that would enable people to find the whereabouts of the home.
