  4. Milly Dowler “I rang her phone,” recalled Sally Dowler. “It clicked through onto her voicemail, so I heard her voice and it was just like, 'she's picked up her voicemail, she's alive.’”

  5. “'Members of the Royal Family feel they have a right to privacy when they are going about every day, private activities. They recognise there is a public interest in them and what they do, but they do not think this extends to photographing the private activities of them and their friends,” explained a Royal Spokesman.

  6. Gareth Ainsworth ProfessionalEnglish footballer who is player-manager at Wycombe Wanderers “If we’re out in the public domain, we’re fair game.” “The press can be good as well as bad. They are not all bad, they are not all terrible people.” “There should be rules about privacy.” “People have a right to know.” “Private is your private.” “They can be good but they can kill you if they want to.” “but when you are on the pitch out in the public eye that is not private.”

  7. Vic Hanna A previous editor of the South African newspapers, The Sunday Tribune, Management Magazine and The Daily News “I am giving you the views of an ex-journalist which would naturally favour total freedom of the press as opposed to someone who has had run ins with the media.” “A free press is a basic need in a democracy.” “I believe that common law is sufficient to protect people's interests against libel and falsehoods and that we, as the public, have a right to know. Curtail this and you curtail democracy.”

  8. “Put it before them briefly so they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it and, above all, accurately so they will be guided by its light.” Joseph Pulitzer
