Abstract
Competition law cases are largely confined to the business pages of newspapers, if reported on at all. This brief presentation foregrounds why media coverage is poor/invisible, and how media representation could encourage compliance of industries. Publicity should require public admissions of guilt as part of leniency; the ‘effect’ of infringements ought to be demonstrated, not just relying on the ‘object’ of infringement or the amount of a fine.
