Charlotte Brewer and Lord Leveson

29 November 2012

You’ll have already seen on p. 1468 of the Right Honourable Justice Leveson’s inquiry into the culture, practices and ethics of the press that Professor Charlotte Brewer is cited on the meaning of the word ‘plurality’.

(In case you are wondering, it means ‘a large number’ not just a number in excess of one).
