Lord Justice Leveson
has warned that unless criminal and civil law is enforced against
bloggers, the quality of journalism in conventional media could
deteriorate.
Leveson, speaking in Melbourne, Australia on Wednesday morning (UK time), said journalists on newspapers might be encouraged to cut corners and to adopt unethical and potentially illegal practices to get a story in the face of competition from the internet.
