Magazine regulation

Regulation
  • Magazines, like newspapers, are self-regulated. Magazines may join IPSO or Impress – only
  • Impress is Leveson-compliant.
  • MOJO has chosen to join IPSO, as have the other Bauer publications


IPSO

Who are they?

 The Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) is the independent regulator for the newspaper and magazine industry in the UK. They hold newspapers and magazines to account for their actions, protect individual rights, uphold high standards of journalism and help to maintain freedom of expression for the press.

What do they do?
  • We make sure that member newspapers and magazines follow the Editors' Code.
  • We investigate complaints about printed and online material that may breach the Editors’ Code.
  • We can make newspapers and magazines publish corrections or adjudications if they breach the Editors’ Code (including on their front page).
  • We monitor press standards and require member newspapers and magazines to submit an annual statement about how they follow the Editors’ Code and handle any complaints.
  • We can investigate serious standards failings and can fine publishers up to £1 million in cases where they are particularly serious and systemic.
  • We operate a 24-hour anti-harassment advice line.
  • We provide advice for editors and journalists.
  • We provide training and guidance for journalists so they can uphold the highest possible standards.
  • We provide a Whistleblowing Hotline for journalists who feel they are being pressured to act in a way that is not in line with the Editors' Code.
  • We work with charities, NGOs and other organisations to support and improve press standards.
What options does the website have?

You can find out about the company, make a complaint or look at the code of conduct for all the magazines and newspapers they are in charge of.
