Lord Hunt, Chair of the Press Complaints Commission, and Angela Phillips, Chair of the Ethics Committee of the Coordinating Committee for Media Reform, give their views on the future of press regulation. They debate whether self-regulation can be made to work, or if some form of independent regulator, enabled by state legislation, is needed to ensure standards and confidence in the press. This is the latest in the Speakers Corner Trust Forum for Debate series, which provides focussed and informed debates on topical issues. The debate can be accessed here.The British Library contributes by writing guides for further reading
