In a letter to the Prime Minister, the Campaign to Protect Journalists (CPJ) urges Mr Cameron to “step back” from creating a new regulator as it would set a bad example to repressive dictatorships.

The idea of a regulator underpinned by statute was proposed by the Lord Justice Leveson's inquiry into media ethics in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal. Mr Cameron has signalled he belives the plans strike an acceptable balance between protecting victims of media intrusion and preserving freedom of expression.
