新闻自由与隐私权的冲突

On Conflicts between Freedom of Press and Privacy

新闻自由和隐私权是西方标榜的两种民主形式,也是公民的两种基本权利。然而在当今社会,却时常有新闻自由侵犯隐私权,或隐私权妨碍新闻自由的事件发生。BBC已故知名主持人萨维尔性侵事件和默多克集团《世界新闻报》窃听事件中涉及到的新闻自由与隐私权的冲突及事发后的应对方法,对中国规范媒体行为具有重要借鉴意义。

The freedom of press and privacy are the two forms of democracy preached by the West as well as the two fundamental rights of citizens. However, the infringement of privacy by free press, or hindering of freedom of press from privacy has been seen from time to time in today＇s society. The ways of tackling the sexual scandal of the well-known BBC presenter and the phone-hacking scandal of Murdoch group are of great significance for reference to the standardization of Chinese media.
