自愿方式也令任何出版商——不论规模大孝是网媒还是纸媒——都能将自身置于受监管的框架中。强制方式则可能会导致新的监管机构“挑选出版商。如今各种团体和个人都能发布消息,媒体越来越碎片化,强制方式会导致各种各样的问题。
Why would anyone volunteer? Mr Desmond, after all, left the PCC and expressed his contempt for his fellow tabloid proprietors. But he and others would return if it were in their own interests – if there were sufficient incentives to persuade them to take part.
那这些媒体为何会自愿接受管制?德斯蒙德最终离开了英国媒体投诉委员会,并表达了他对其他小报老板的鄙视。不过只要有足够的激励措施,为了自身利益考虑,德斯蒙德和其他人会愿意回来的。
This brings us to effectiveness. Many incentives have been suggested for those agreeing to regulation – a kite-mark of public approval, favourable tax treatment – but the best carrot would be cheap, efficient arbitration of complaints from the aggrieved. That would make life simpler and less financially risky not only for the individuals who cannot afford to take their cases to court, but for publishers.
接下来再谈有效性。对同意监管者提供哪些激励,关于这一点已经有许多提议,比如授予他们某种标记、方便公众辨识,或为他们提供税收优惠。不过,最好的激励是对受侵害一方的投诉进行廉价而有效的仲裁。这样不仅简化了流程,而且财务上的风险要小得多,受益的不仅是无钱上法庭打官司的个人,也包括出版商。
