McCann: Media Scrutiny 'Monstered' Family

Description

Gerry McCann, father of Madeleine McCann, advocates for stricter UK press regulation due to intense media scrutiny following his daughters disappearance in 2007. He describes the monstering as suffocating and impactful, leading to legal action against misleading headlines. McCann, along with over thirty others, urges Prime Minister Keir Starmer to restart the second part of the Leveson inquiry, which was initially meant to examine media-police relations. Despite Culture Secretary Lisa Nandys refusal to restart the inquiry, citing changes in the media landscape, McCann remains hopeful for justice and seeks to prevent published material from interfering with future investigations.
