Australian media faces privacy law

Australian journalists are facing new privacy restrictions after the country's law reform commission today urged a reform of the privacy law. Its recommended restrictions will inhibit papers and magazines from reporting celebrity news. One lawyer says: "It could have a significant chilling effect on the reporting of the private lives of celebrities." A coalition representing Australia's leading media groups is campaigning against any changes to the current privacy law. (Via The Australian)
