Onora O'Neill on the responsibility of the media
Onora O'Neill criticises the standard of public debate on both sides of the European Union decision. She identifies the responsibility of the media to practise accurate and “reasonably fair” reporting. The philosopher responds to the confusion between press freedom and an individual’s right to freedom of self-expression, and asks how this democratic deficit can be repaired.
