The Press Complaints Commission is to host a public debate in Bridgend about how the media covered the recent series of suicides in the area.

A panel – chaired by PCC Chairman Sir Christopher Meyer – will take questions from the public and other interested parties about how the cases were reported.

The panel will nclude Madeleine Moon MP; Rhodri Williams, Director of Ofcom for Wales; and Spencer Feeney, editor-in-chief of the South Wales Evening Post and member of the Commission. In addition, the PCC will also run an advice session for anyone who has a specific concern they wish to raise privately.

The event will take place at the Dunraven Suite, Bridgend Recreation Centre, on Friday 16 May.
