Press Complaints Commission

In this task, we had to research into the Press Complaints Commission and understand the Editors Code and consider the challenges my product will face. The editors code consists of alot of rules or codes that must be met in order for a product to be allowed. With my magazine, i found that there was alot rules which could cause conflict with my magazine if i did not keep to this code. Such things are:

Accuracy

i) The Press must take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted information, including pictures.

3

*Privacy

i) Everyone is entitled to respect for his or her private and family life, home, health and correspondence, including digital communications.

12

Discrimination

i) The press must avoid prejudicial or pejorative reference to an individual's race, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation or to any physical or mental illness or disability.

ETC.

When considering this about how it will affect my magazine, i found out that i could not change or distort an image or fact, the image or fact must remain accurate and not misrepresent.
