Abstract
The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has dismissed a complaint of a journalist invoking her right to freedom of expression under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The case concerns the criminal conviction of Tânia Alexandra Ferreira e Castro da Costa Laranjo for the publication of an article based on an audio recording of a taped telephone conversation between two politicians, without their consent. The ECtHR emphasized in particular that, although the public has a right to be informed, an article, such as the one in the present case, that aimed solely at satisfying the curiosity of a particular readership regarding the personal opinion of a public figure about other public figures, does not contribute to any debate of general interest.
Keywords
