Statutory Regulation of the newspaper industry is the idea that is highly debated of whether or not the news should be regulated and the status of which how much it should be regulated. This is a highly debated topic as many people believe that if the government were given the power to chose what was shown corruption would be ablaze in the news and day to day lives of the people yet if the control is only given to the editors and publishers it would mean anything could be published with unlimited control it could lead to news stories being made that are an invasion of privacy. 

One of the expansive discussion for statutory control in the news is that limits can be set, which would imply that these news organisations can't go to wherever they need and distribute who for sure so ever that there are breaking points to how news can be acquired. With a background marked by the business as of now distributing and investigating stories in heartless acts with the news of the world outrage which fortunately prompted its conclusion. Concerning any industry, there are points of confinement and standards which are pursued like they are human instinct so it is indistinguishable to the print news industry.

While there is a persuading banter for statutory direction there is a voice on the opposite end that contends that without press opportunity there would be degenerate legislators if the press can't work unreservedly and 


in addition a free press is fundamental to the general public as it illuminates and instructs the general population with various perspectives. Political corruptness will start as the legislators can shroud their demonstrations and can lead whatever they need in a visually impaired eye as has North Korea which does not distribute nearby news inside the nation.Celebrities also come into the debate with heavy influence on why statutory regulation is needed within the industry due to their privacy being invaded as well as the public's privacy. As news regarding the high class and elites is what a lot of readers look for which is why journalists go to extream lengths to find out the next scoop about them, and this invasion of privacy is a huge point that people raise when the press chooses to do this. 

While this is a point that is a huge driving force, the newspaper industry has argued that the celebrities that raise these points often use the news and the industry to promote their lives and their projects so it is only seen fair to the papers to use them to help make them profit as it helps the industry get sales.

The company IPSO has been regulating the news for quite a while and they are responsible for making sure that whatever the newspapers publish is okay to distribute. The IPSO have not been doing a good job as there have been numerous times where the newspapers publish inaccurate content and the IPSO have not done much about it. They have been given numerous opportunities and chances to change this but they have failed to do it successfully. As a result, I believe that there should be statutory regulation because of this. Some newspaper industries are regulating themselves which suggests that the content can be unreliable. This makes me consider that newspapers may only be interested in how much they sell instead of the ethics and what they actually sell.

Overall, I think that there should not be statutory regulation as i 
believe  that the government will have too much of an influence on us. However, this depends on whether how much the government is willing to regulate as if they aren’t regulating much, the news can still be interesting and appealing to other audiences.
