Oh well, at the end of the day, he's free to set whatever rules he likes - just as the media is free to ignore him if they choose.

And of course, he can legitimately argue that 'print' journalists will only record him for personal rather than public use, using their tape recorders as 'note-pads' rather than scribble furiously as old-timers did before them and that therefore he is merely trying to be accomodating.

It seems clear that he has an issue with broadcasting his likeness and voice rather than recording in itself.
