It is, however, bad journalism, poor taste, offensive to the young women<br>
and they should be called out over it.<br>
<br>
My understanding is that in Australia it would be dealt with by<br>
professional codes of conduct. That is for print journalism.<br>
<br>
I can understand the school wanting to sue for loss of reputation. The<br>
poor young women involved must be feeling horribly degraded by these<br>
ridiculous assertions. The journalists should be rebuked for it, and their<br>
editors should know better!<br>
<br>
But jail? No.<br>
<br>
Over here, I would suspect in this case they would be forced to write a<br>
retraction and the apology should have equal space as the original<br>
article. This would be on the basis of the harm and suffering caused.<br>
<br>
Radio and television is different, however. They can be fined or lose a<br>
broadcasting license for offensive behaviour. The relevant codes and a<br>
case are listed below. ACMA is the Australian Communications and Media<br>
Authority.<br>

ACMA finds 2DAY’s Kyle & Jackie O Show breached decency<br>
MR 16-2012 – 27 March ACMA finds Sandilands comments ‘deeply derogatory<br>
and offensive’.<br>
<br>
Kyle Sandilands’ comments about a female journalist were deeply derogatory<br>
and offensive, and amounted to a breach of the Commercial Radio Codes of<br>
Practice 2011 (the codes), the Australian Communications and Media<br>
Authority (the ACMA) has found.<br>
<br>
The ACMA has begun formal steps to impose a second licence condition on<br>
broadcaster 2DAY FM Sydney which would prohibit the radio station from<br>
broadcasting indecent content and content that demeans women or girls.<br>
<br>
The ACMA action follows an investigation into a segment broadcast on the<br>
Kyle & Jackie O Show on 22 November 2011.<br>
<br>
‘The Authority found the comments by Mr Sandilands deeply derogatory and<br>
offensive and, in all the circumstances, a licence condition is the<br>
appropriate response,’ said ACMA Chairman, Chris Chapman.<br>
