		<description><![CDATA[Press Release 14 July 2011 &#160; THE Chartered Institute of Journalists has reacted with concern to comments made by Nick Clegg today (July 14) on media regulation. Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, the deputy prime minister said that the phone hacking scandal should be used as an opportunity to &#8220;clean up&#8221; the relationship between the press, politicians and police. The scandal &#8220;clearly goes beyond News International,&#8221; he said, and was a &#8220;systemic&#8221; symptom of a &#8220;cosy&#8221; establishment.

Dominic Cooper, general secretary of the Institute said: “Although Digital Britain has encouraged an assessment to determine the value-for-council &#8230; <a href="http://cioj.co.uk/what-price-democracy-audit-commission-can%e2%80%99t-answer%e2%80%a6so-who-will/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

They should also ensure that free access to information was a reality and that the classification ‘secret’ was only used for a limited period and for real secrets whose unauthorized release would have serious consequences.
