What happened
The DPA dismissed a complaint against a newspaper, finding that it was publishing information in the public interest and was thus exempt under national law from certain GDPR provisions. It noted that the exemption applies where there is a close nexus between the personal data published and the public interest - including where special categories of data are involved.
