Does the Editors' Code set the highest standards for ethical journalism?  ipso.co.uk

The independent Committee responsible for the Editors' Code is asking for views. The Code is the framework IPSO uses to regulate the press. It's used by more than 1800 news sites, magazines, & newspapers. If you have views on how to improve it, visit bit.ly/49BfK5i

Graphic reads: Harassment is a breach of the journalistic standards set out in the Editors' Code of Practice. We support people experiencing unwanted press attention. Journalists must not continue to question, telephone, pursue or photograph people once they have been asked to stop - unless in the public interest.

We can support people who are experiencing press intrusion by intervening directly and through complaints handling which provide accountability for misconduct. We encourage anyone with concerns about press behaviour to contact us for help. www.ipso.co.uk/harassment
