Resources - Submissions

MMA made its submission at thefirst of South Africa’s Public Hearings into its reviews process. MMA wants the Press Council to address:

• Lack of knowledge both on the part of the general public
• Challenges arising out of the self-regulatory nature of the system and the legal enforceability of the decisions
• Independence of the Press Council
• Lack of clarity in relation to financial arrangements;
• The relief available to successful complainants;
• Making the procedure more informal, speedy, cost-effective, open and transparent.
