THE threat hanging over publishers to pay all legal costs if they win or lose a court case will be removed, it was announced in the King's Speech.<\/p>\n

Ministers have made a commitment to repeal the controversial Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013 which has yet to be enacted.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

King Charles said that the government will bring forward legislation to \u201cprotect public interest journalism\u201d.<\/p>\n

The publishers would have to pay expensive legal costs in both defamation and privacy cases for both sides if they don\u2019t sign up to an approved regulator.<\/p>\n

The Impress media body – set up by the Press Recognition Panel – oversees 125 publishers and is the only approved regulator set up in the wake of the Leveson Inquiry.<\/p>\n

But big publishing names such as News UK which owns The Sun, Daily Mail and General Trust and Telegraph Media Group joined the voluntary funded Independent Press Standards Organisation, set up in 2014.<\/p>\n

At the end of last month, she used a reception in Downing Street to praise the media for \u201creporting without fear or favour\u201d.<\/p>\n

She also said they com bat both \u201cmis and disinformation\u201d and \u201cholding people, organisations and countries to account\u201d.<\/p>\n

Industry figures have already backed government plans to repeal Section 40.<\/p>\n

Society of Editors executive director Dawn Alford argued that Section 40 would have had a \u201cdevastating impact on investigative journalism as well as impose crippling costs on publishers simply for telling the truth\u201d.<\/p>\n

But the PRP says that the \u201cpublic remain at risk, as pursuing a court case is out of reach for most people, unless of course they can afford expensive court proceedings\u201d.<\/p>\n
