No controls on media
Government should not
legislate controls over the
media, members of the
Ontario Weekly Newspaper
Association (OWNA) agreed
recently at their fall meeting
in Ottawa.
The OWNA members were
reacting to proposals by
Paul Dick, MP Lanark -
Renfrew -Carleton and Alf
Stong, MLA York Centre,
that the media not be
allowed to publish the names
of accused in criminal cases.
Both men have bills in
their- respective legislatures
which, if passed; would bar
the publication of names of
persons charged with a
criminal offence.
Dick's Bill C-213 would not
allow publication of names
until the accused pleads or is
found guilty. Stong's Bill 68
would - allow publication
when the trial begins.
The two men were part of
an afternoon workshop at the
OWNA meeting and faced
questions and criticisms
from editors, reporters and
publishers of Ontario's
weekly newspapers.
"Is it (publishing of
names) really worth it.... -
does it advance justice....I
say no," said Dick.
He pointed to a number of
suicides in the Ottawa area
which occurred after the
publication of an accused's
name and the Allan Spragett
case to justify his argument.
Spragett was charged with
a sex crime in Winnipeg last
year. He was eventually
acquitted and praised by the
judge, but in the interim had
lost his job and reputation.
The publication of his
name, said Dick, not only
affected Spragett's standing
in the community, but also
placed undue hardship on his
family.
Stong's main argument
was that "all we have to offer
as individuals is our
reputation," which can be
jeopardized through the
publication of names in
criminal cases.
His bill is coming up for a
second time in the provincial
legislature. The first time
around it was defeated by 15
votes.
However, it will be some
time _before_either bill sees
the light of day on the floors
of the respective
legislatures, since both are
private members' • bills
which could take years to be
heard.
It was noted at the OWNA
meeting that both bilis would
eliminate public par-
ticipation in the ap-
prehension of persons
charged 'with. criminal of-
fences who lore at large.
Names and descriptions of
escapees who have yet to
come to trial would not be
able to be published if the
bills in thein present form
were passed.
Both parliamentarians
admitted they had
overlooked this fact and
would amend their bills
accordingly.
While some OWNA
members favoured the idea
of not publishing names,
they were adamant in their
stand that the government
not legislate rules for the
press.
Editor Hal Blaine said he
found the argument for not
publishing names "very
persuasive."
