A ready to use GCSE Citizenship ideally made for Edexcel GCSE level, however it can still be used in schools where GCSE Citizenship is not an option, yet there is some element of Citizenship education. (To be used from year 9 onwards in this instance) This lesson teaches students about Press Regualtors iin the UK, namely IPSO and IMPRESS.
In response to the 2022 GCSE Edexcel paper, upon which many candidates struggled to explain the role of a press regulator, this lesson serves to bridge this gap in learning. This lesson ideally should be taught after introducing the role of the press and censorship (also available to download separately or as part of the ‘GCSE Citizenship-Press Bundle’)
The lesson includes 60 minutes worth of high-quality teaching and learning materials, which challenges students to debate and think critically about the role of the press regulators and the extent to which they support/restrict press freedom in the UK. Students learn about each press regulator and the capacity in which they regulate the press and balance the rights of their members with the right to privacy.
Students have to rank the Code of Practice clauses that press outlets must abide to when becoming members of the Press Regulatory bodies. Students are also taught about the Leverson Inquiry and the News of the World Scandal as an effective case study to draw upon in their Paper 2 examination. This is particularly important for extended writing questions on Paper 2 in which students have to evaluate the role and responsibility of the press when exercising their right to freedom of expression and how to ensure that this does not violate the right to privacy and harm society.
Learning Intentions:
-I can identify why press regulation is important in a democratic society
-I can demonstrate my knowledge on the role and responsibilities of the press through a case study
