• Resumen

  • On 5 January 2015, Ofcom published its decision holding that ITV’s Meridian News (covering south and south east England) had not caused an unwarranted infringement of Mrs Diane Ash-Smith’s privacy during a live news broadcast that disclosed her full address and showed footage of her car registration number, in relation to a murder enquiry of which her son, Colin Ash-Smith, was a suspect. Ofcom did not consider the Meridian News had breached Practice rules 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 or 8.6 of Ofcom’s Broadcasting Code of Conduct.
