Media self-regulation refers to a joint endeavour by media professionals to set up voluntary editorial guidelines and abide by them in a learning process open to the public. By doing so, the independent media accept their share of responsibility for the quality of public discourse, while fully preserving their editorial autonomy in shaping it.
This guidebook provides questions and answers on a range of practical concerns around self-regulation including:
- how existing self regulatory mechanisms work
- what challenges they face
- how to establish or enhance them.
