This lesson ideally should be taught after introducing the role of the press and censorship (also available to download separately or as part of the ‘GCSE Citizenship-Press Bundle’) The lesson includes 60 minutes worth of high-quality teaching and learning materials, which challenges students to debate and think critically about the role of the press regulators and the extent to which they support/restrict press freedom in the UK. Students learn about each press regulator and the capacity in which they regulate the press and balance the rights of their members with the right to privacy. Students have to rank the Code of Practice clauses that press outlets must abide to when becoming members of the Press Regulatory bodies. Students are also taught about the Leverson Inquiry and the News of the World Scandal as an effective case study to draw upon in their Paper 2 examination. This is particularly important for extended writing questions on Paper 2 in which students have to evaluate the role and responsibility of the press when exercising their right to freedom of expression and how to ensure that this does not violate the right to privacy and harm society. Learning Intentions: -I can identify why press regulation is important in a democratic society -I can demonstrate my knowledge on the role and responsibilities of the press through a case study -I can prioritise and rank the clauses and Standards the press must abide by, in order to safeguard both free press and the rights of individuals.
