Task - Research and find out which organisation is responsible for regulation of the content of British newspapers , and how you make a complaint about accuracy or offensive content in a newspaper.
The Press Complaints Commission (PCC) was a voluntary regulatory body for British printed newspapers and magazines, consisting of representatives of the major publishers. The PCC closed on Monday 8 September 2014, and was replaced by the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), chaired by Sir Alan Moses. By 2016 the UK had two new press regulatory bodies, the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), which regulates most national newspapers and many other media outlets, and IMPRESS, which regulates a much smaller number of outlets but is the only press regulator recognised by the PRP (since October 2016).Therefore, if a complaint needed to be made by someone due to the accuracy or the use of offensive content in a newspaper they would report to IPSO. So, newspaper editors must follows the rules of the Editor's Code of Practice - the change from PCC to IPSO comes from before and after the Leveson Inquiry. Now, IPSO investigate complaints about breaches of the Editor's Code of Practice.
