Surely this must be one of the strongest reasons for an independent press commission, the final declaration from Jim Watson giving evidence at the Levenson enquiry
"Given the inquiry into press standards and ethics ... we strongly feel that the PCC is paid for by the newspapers that published false misleading articles about our dear murdered daughter Diane. Sadly the malicious falsehoods were too much for our son Alan, who died with these articles in his hand. We feel that the PCC should be replaced by a completely independent body or tribunal who should go over the complaints in person."
