LEGISLATIVE BILLS THAT WOULD AFFECT THE PRESS In
1998 the federal government commenced an initiative to pass legislation
intended to protect the use of personal information in the private
sector. The proposed legislation would prevent the use of ?personal
information? for purposes other than for which it was collected
with the consent of the person it concerns. While the proposed limits
would affect all information collected by any business, including
information collected for the purpose of the business of a media
company, lobbying by the media resulted in an exemption in the draft
legislation for information collected for journalistic purposes.
