    'Ordinary person' vs 'the Press': the unmentioned 'other' problem with libel law

    Roy Greenslade has linked to a blogpost outlining one libel claimant's experience of newspaper journalism, journalists, defendant lawyers, and the legal process: A True Story Of Daily Mail Lies by Juliet Shaw. Salutary reading for those engaged in policy development on libel reform... and only the tip of an iceberg.
