Lionel Barber, the editor of the Financial Times, has called for the ditching of the Press Complaints Commission and the creation of an entirely new system of self-regulation.
He said that the best response to the News of the World phone-hacking scandal "is for the mainstream media to clean house."
He argued for the elimination of the PCC in favour of a new body – possibly called the Media Standards Commission – and the reduction, or even elimination, of editors from the various arms of the new regulator in favour of independent membership.
Barber, above, devoted a large section of his Fulbright lecture – "Adapt or die: The future of news and newspapers in the digital revolution" – to the need to get to grips with the ethical lapses of the British popular press.
