Press regulation

Most democratic countries have a free press. This means that the press works within the European convention of human rights, specifically articles 8 and 10. Article 8 is an individuals right to privacy, and article 10 is the right to freedom of expression. This means that the press can publish any article it wants as long as it doesn't intrude on a persons privacy (at least without their previous permission). Another key feature of the press is self regulation. This means that there's no external governing body for the press, it's trusted to look after itself.
