INDEPENDENT PRESS STANDARDS ORGANISATION

The Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) is the independent regulator of the newspaper and magazine industry. They exist to promote and uphold the highest professional standards of journalism in the UK, and to support members of the public in seeking redress where they believe that the Editors' Code of Practice has been breached. They are able to consider concerns about editorial content in newspapers and magazines, and about the conduct of journalists. They administer the Editor... s' Code of Practice and take active steps to ensure that publications adhere to it. The Editors' Code deals with issues such as accuracy, invasion of privacy, intrusion into grief or shock and harassment. The full Code can be seen here. They handle complaints, and conduct Their own investigations into editorial standards and compliance. They also undertake monitoring work, including by requiring publications to submit annual compliance reports. IPSO has the power, where necessary, to require the publication of prominent corrections and critical adjudications, and may ultimately fine publications in cases where failings are particularly serious and systemic.
