Setting up a media council in the time of the Internet and social media onslaught is a futile effort


We should learn from the British experience. In 1990, the Calcutt Report of the Committee on Privacy and Related Matters recommended the setting up of a Press Complaints Commission to replace the UK Press Council. The UK Press Council ceased to exist in 1991.

There is no media council in the United States.
