“Therefore, do not publish the media all the names”

“On the social media, it is added out the pictures of the perpetrators, influerare calls for action and boycotts. Silence in the media. Why?”

“Pressombudsmannen Ola Sigvardsson explains why the media often do not publish the name, and why you yourself should think before you share the name on social media.”

“When can it be right to publish the name?”

“– It is, above all, three different parameters to take into account. The first is about the event seriously. For example, serious violent crimes, the public may have a right to know who the killer is, and it is not unusual that these names are published.”

“– The other is beläggens strength – how confident can we be that this is true? The many cases that led to convictions in the Press Council in the wake of metoo often had this in common – the evidence was too weak.”

“– The third is about the person’s role in society. For example, if a politician or a senior official has done something, there may be reasons for namnpublicering that perhaps had not been if it acted about a private individual.”

“What consequences can a publication get for the designated?”

“– To become uthängd in a derogatory context, whether in social media or traditional media, can damage a person for life. Etiquette says simply that you should be careful and think, and it is an assessment that may be made on a case-by-case basis. What is it in this that raises the subject of privacy?”

“it is not Enough that it is true in order to justify to write your name?”

“– If the public interest is weak, it is not enough for publication. A conviction, for example, is a strong evidence, but this alone is not enough.”

“What, then, is meant by the term”

“– It is an often disputed concept, but I would define it as ”

“How is it with public figures who lack formal power, but still can have great influence – for example, kulturpersoner?”

“– You can very well name someone who does not have a position of power, but the rule of thumb is that the level of namnpublicering can be achieved more easily when dealing with someone you can request a responsibility of high-ranking politicians, officials, business leaders, judges and so on. But the public interest can still weigh over for other reasons.”

“social media Has luckrat up the understanding of the press ethical rules?”

“– I rather think that the knowledge of the rules and how they work is much greater today than it was 20 years ago. There we see, for example, by our influx of cases increased in recent years.”

“– Then there are certainly those who take the impression of social media and are wondering why the name is not published more often, but then I think that the traditional media need to be resilient and continue to make their own assessments and not allow themselves to be squeezed.”

“– And I dare say that the general public still want to have media that takes into account. Had we not, we would have a very uncomfortable society.”

“What do you as an individual consider before you share a name on the net?”

” I think that one should think in much the same way as a publisher: What is true? What do I know really? Is it reasonable that I am contributing to the harm the person in this way?”

“who feel personally offended by something that stood in a journal may make a complaint to the Public press ombudsman, PO. The notifier must be personally affected by the publication complained of. It usually means that the man must be named or otherwise singled out.”

“the Article must have been published in a printed newspaper or magazine. PO can also try some online magazines, whose publishers are members of professional organisations TU or the magazines. The publication must have occurred within three months from the date on which the notification was submitted to the PO.”

“PO then examines the notification and, if one decides to investigate the matter further sent a copy of the notice to the newspaper. Then get the newspaper to answer the notifier, which can also provide additional answers. When the parties terminated their correspondence can PO either suggest that the magazine should be blamed and submits the case to the Press Council (PON) which is the decision-making body, or can PO believe that the newspaper should be freed and dismiss the case.”
