Regulation of press
The PCC is an independent self-regulatory body which deals with complaints about the editorial content
of newspapers and magazines (and their websites). We keep industry standards high by training journalists
and editors, and work pro-actively behind the scenes to prevent harassment and media intrusion. We can
provide pre-publication advice to journalists and the public and have published advice on dealing with
media attention after a death.
Contempt of court is a court order which, in the context of a court trial or hearing, declares a person or organization to have disobeyed or been disrespectful of the court's authority. Often referred to simply as "contempt," such as a person "held in contempt," it is the judge's strongest power to impose sanctions for acts which disrupt the court's normal process. This could effect newspapers in the sense that if the y cover a story, they need to make sure that they don't breach the law when doing so.
Phone hacking is also a large ethical issue in which some newspapers have been known for getting involved in. Some newspapers have used phone hacking to get additional information from phones from people of interest, such as celebrities. The main ethical issue with phone hacking is simply that it invades somebody's personal device and finds out information that is either personal or that is supposed to remain between two people, this invasion of privacy came as a shock to most when the phone hacking scandal was brought to light.
Defamation is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give a bias representation of something, this is a large part of newspapers as they are sometimes seen as taking sides in a story.

textual analysis on shropshire star
The images used in the Shropshire star are a lot smaller, when compared to the top newspapers but it is doing very well for its budget. Pictures cost a lot more to print than text simply because it uses alot more ink to prink than just ordinary text. This is why the larger newspapers with a larger budged can afford to print more pictures and larger pictures. Pictures are a large part of a newspaper because it adds a lot of character to them, when you think of a story in the newspaper it is often the picture that is used to represent the story that you remember the most. Pictures are also very useful because they make the newspaper significantly less boring, although there is still allot of text, pictures space it all out and it is better than having pure text across every page.
The Shropshire star newspaper was also the first to use colour printing in its stories 4 months after its release. This added even more depth to the pictures and made the paper even less boring and the now coloured pictures stuck even firmly into your head. This as you can imagine was increadibly expensive but also pushed the newspaper to new hights.
The shropshire star as well as being very individual is very constitutional in the way that it is presented. It is constitutional because the majority of the text is black, The headers and sub-headers are larger, important and emphasis is shown by underlining, Columns are used, lines are used to separate text, colour i used to draw attention and pictures are used to draw attention. In most newspapers, the majority of the text is black, this is seen as the standard colour and black ink is cheaper than colour. Headers and sub-headers have always been larger than the normal text simply because it is of allot more importance than the text, the headers need to stand out to seperate the story from previous ones and to give you an idea what the story is about, sub=headers also need to be larger because they underline to stories meaning. Underlining is very common in newspapers because it is another way in which they can make part of a text more important and stand out more than the others. Columns are used to try and not make the text blend together and to try and space it out. They are a very important part of any newspaper because they are used to separate stories and to make the newspaper look more spaced out, more neat and more professional. Lines/rules are used to separate text when it is needed to try and make the newspaper spread look more professional and to try and help the reader separate the stories. Colour and pictures are also used to almost add importance to some stories so you know that they are worth reading , if you could see two stories, one just black text and the other with colour, and pictures, you would instantly want to read the coloured picture first because you would think that if they put the effort to add a picture and to add colour, then it must be worth reading allot more than the story that they did not.
