Editors Meet To Discuss Press Watchdog
Newspaper editors have been meeting in an effort to agree proposals for a new press watchdog independent of publishers and politicians.
Wednesday’s meeting follows editors meeting the prime minister on Monday to discuss the Leveson report.
David Cameron said he was "encouraged" by his meetings with editors, calling for cross-party talks to continue.
However, differences have emerged over whether to create a regulatory system backed by law, as Lord Justice Leveson proposes.
In his report into press standards and ethics last week, Lord Justice Leveson recommended an independent self-regulatory body for the press, backed up by legislation.
The Editors' Code of Practice Committee, which is part of the current system, is also meeting to discuss the report's recommendations.
