This via Roy Greenslade,that the Media Standards Trust is debating yesterday's speech from Tony Blair
According to the trust he made 5 critisisms of the media
1. That 'unless [news] generates heat' as opposed to light it will not gain coverage
2. That errors have to be intentional rather than accidental because 'attacking motive is far more potent than attacking judgment'
3. That the media 'hunts in a pack' for fear of missing out
4. That commentary and interpretation have become as important for news providers as news
5. That news and comment are being mixed together as a matter of course.
