#2 The journalist community will have to be extra vigilant to ensure that the mischief in the latest draft does not raise its head again in the garb of a bill to ‘promote good journalism’.

I worry more about the mischief in our own press. We have freedom of the press but it is not absolute in that we have libel laws, sexual harassment laws, and laws against inciting riots. There is also a self-imposed censorship against publishing certain details about perps of crimes. Lately, we have cultural prohibitions rather than legal bars against speech and the press such as that odious notion of political correctness.
