The Editors' Code of Practice is the foundation stone of the UK press self-regulatory system. It sets out the rules that the voluntarily subscribing newspaper and magazine industry members have pledged to accept. It is by those self-imposed standards that newspapers and magazines can be held to account via the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), which on 8 September 2014 became the new regulatory body for the industry. The Code is reviewed by the Editors' Code of Practice Committee, which has been restructured to include a stronger lay membership, as well as editors representing the national and regional newspaper and magazine industry. Elsewhere on this site, you will find the current Code, and The Editors' Codebook, the handbook that gives a background to how the Code operates in practice. Meanwhile IPSO details, including how to complain about breaches of the Code, can be found at www.ipso.co.uk/. |
This is the current Editors' Code of Practice, which the Independent Press Standards Organisation is charged with enforcing. |
