		<description><![CDATA[18 May 2012 The Chartered Institute of Journalists (CIoJ) today welcomed the High Court ruling that disclosure orders can never be granted as a formality. Lord Justice Moses and Mr Justice Eady have quashed an order for media organisations to hand over footage shot during the Dale Farm eviction in October 2011. The written judgement cited that “police had failed to make a sufficiently strong case” and accepted the media’s joint position that it was a fishing expedition for evidence. &#8230; <a href="http://cioj.co.uk/cioj-welcomes-judges-ruling-on-dale-farm-disclosure-orders/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CIoJ PRESS RELEASE 9 JANUARY 2012 The Chartered Institute of Journalists has written to the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, urging caution against over-zealous application of the Filkin report recommendations on socialising with journalists. Amanda Brodie, chairman of the Institute’s Professional Practices Board, said: “We welcome large parts of the report which urges a more open and transparent connection with the media, but the way in which this is achieved should be left to the officers involved with the case. &#8230; <a href="http://cioj.co.uk/cioj-warns-met-over-filkin-report/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<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.

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ALERT 8 JULY 2011 The Chartered Institute of Journalists has condemned the sacking of hundreds of News of the World staff – both editorial and others. CIoJ president Norman Bartlett said the union was appalled at the peremptory closure of the News of the World in a bid by Rupert Murdoch and News International to deflect flack over the hacking scandal. Bartlett said: “This action, which closes a well-liked British institution, does not resolve the issue of despicable behaviour &#8230; <a href="http://cioj.co.uk/cioj-condemns-sacking-of-now-staff/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

He introduced Maldon MP, John Whittingdale, who spoke on the commercial and technical issues facing journalism and broadcasting today. He mentioned particularly the danger of investigative journalism being threatened by the courts. &#8220;It is vital that the press is able to report on freely on abuses and failures,&#8221; he said.

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.
