Easy Rider is an American road-trip style movie, which was released in 1969.

PRESS REGULATION: CODES OF CONDUCT, PRACTICE AND ETHICS While the law establishes a framework for journalism to operate in, and puts into place legal limitations (laws regarding defamation, contempt and copyright etc.), it is also important to have other bodies, outside of the law, to operate as regulators to direct journalists and provide ethical guidelines. These regulatory bodies are almost the conscience of…Read More
