⚖️ Access to justice matters

🔵 Only 1 in 4 think the press pays attention to complaints from the public vs 4 in 5 who say it listens to the rich.
🔵 Only 1 in 5 believe an ordinary person would see a false/misleading story corrected vs 2 in 3 for a politician or celebrity.

🔵 Nine in ten people say the press often publishes exaggerated stories just to get attention.
🔵 Eight in ten think it fails to represent people & groups fairly.
🔵 Seven in ten say it often publishes false or misleading info.
🔵 Four in five think it often invades privacy.

The findings, released as @ITV's #TheHack concludes tonight with scenes at the #Leveson Inquiry, show many believe problematic practices like those highlighted by the series haven’t gone away.

In fact, most think misleading reporting & unfair coverage are becoming more common.

🔵 Around four in five support major news sources being regulated.
🔵 More than half (54%) want a regulator independent of both government and the press industry, while only one in five (22%) favour a government-backed body.
🔵 Just 3% support regulation by an industry-run body.

"Everyone is deserving of a private life... that's what this robs people of."

David Tennant says UK investigative journalism should be "applauded" but new drama #TheHack shows how press standards spiral out of control without accountability.

Currently in the UK, the majority of the press is not operating under an approved regulator. Press Recognition Panel Board member & digital media expert, @Annie_R_Mullins, explains the risks if a news publisher is not recognised by the PRP, especially for members of the public:

PRP Board member & journalist @HarbZ1 underlines the importance of remembering the interests of the public in any effective & ethical press recognition system: #press #pressregulation #ethics #publicinterest

Press Recognition Panel Board member & financial business expert, Mark Williams, outlines what it means to be a member of a press regulator which is approved by the PRP: #pressregulation #ethicalstandards #FreedomOfSpeech #Leveson

When it comes to #pressregulation, what is the recognition system and what is the PRP's role in it? Our Policy Advisor, James Ewing, explains:

What is the #pressrecognition system, and what role does the Press Recognition Panel play in it? PRP Board member and barrister, Professor Suzanne Rab, explains:

How can a system of #pressregulation encourage ethical standards in the #media, but also protect #freedomofspeech? Our Chair, Kathryn Cearns, explains the Leveson recommendations:

How and why was the Press Recognition Panel set up? Our Policy Advisor, James Ewing, explains the background of the PRP, and our role in overseeing #pressregulation:

11 years on from #Leveson, the British public remain unprotected from press harm. Our annual report shows the human cost of a lack of meaningful or independent press regulation. The House of Lords Media Bill debate is the last chance to bring change bit.ly/3OAsPCo

Our report is evidence that misleading claims have been made in UK Parliament about the Independent Press Standards Organisation as gov.t rush to repeal Section 40 of the Crime & Courts Act. Help us hold Parliamentarians accountable #Leveson bit.ly/3SsVawQ

How the UK press is held to account matters now more than ever. There is one week left to have your say on the state of press regulation in the UK to shape our state of recognition report. You can share your views anonymously bit.ly/3shWdFm #Section40 #Leveson

In light of this week's Parliamentary debate on the UK Media bill, this blog post sets the record straight on what's really happening with press regulation in the UK - bit.ly/3RJ2YKt #LevesonInquiry (1/2)

Ahead of our next stage of recognition report, we need your views on whether press regulation in the UK is meaningful and independent? Our call for information closes on the 15th January - It's time to have your say bit.ly/3shWdFm

Have your say on press regulation in the UK. Do you think it is independent and meaningful? We are calling for information to inform our eighth state of recognition report. We want to hear your views - bit.ly/3shWdFm

We have published our latest Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023

Without consistency in how standards are interpreted or applied by different news publishers, the public remains at risk from intrusive or inappropriate press practices.

Tomorrow we understand Clause 50 of the #OnlineSafetyBill will be discussed. It currently exempts online news publishers, but could create significant complexity and confusion. #Amendment126 would solve this. Read our blog post to find out why: pressrecognitionpanel.org.uk/why-is-amendme…

Clause 50 of the Online Safety Bill, which currently exempts online news publishers, could create significant complexity and confusion. Amendment 126 would solve this. Read our blog post to find out why: pressrecognitionpanel.org.uk/why-is-amendme…

Why is amendment 126 of the #onlinesafetybill so important? Read our blog: pressrecognitionpanel.org.uk/why-is-amendme…

The Lib Dem DCMS team recognise the need to resolve the definition of a news publisher as one that belongs to an Approved Regulator. Amendment 126 of Clause 50 would resolve this issue. #onlinesafetybill

There is wide ranging support for amendment 126 of Clause 50 - the Lib Dem DCMS team were amoung many that responded to our call for information. #onlinesafetybill

"This [amendment] would ensure that those recognised are worthy of recognition and ensure that there is a consistent application of the law without the need for recourse to the courts. …" says George Eustice MP #onlinesafetybill #amendment126

If a news publisher is defined as a member of an approved regulator, handling of complaints then has to meet clear and defined minimum standards. This gives the public more protection. We support amendment 126 to Clause 50 of the Online Safety Bill.#onlinesafetybill #Amendment126

Amendment 126 to Clause 50 of the #onlinesafetybill could be a vehicle to create a level playing field for all news publishers and create a coherent system setting clear basic standards, transparently overseen by the independent Press Recognition Panel.

We support amendment 126 to Clause 50 of the #OnlineSafetyBill. News publishers must be defined as a member of an approved regulator. Otherwise the system is open to abuse. @LordLipsey @BaronessHollins @Tanni_GT Lord McNally #onlinesafetybill #Amendment126

Our Board has confirmed that @impressreg continues to meet the Royal Charter criteria, meaning it is independent, properly funded & able to protect the public.

It is the only regulator independently assessed as meeting & continuing to meet the criteria.

Our new report finds IPSO is not a regulator, and it manifestly does not meet the Royal Charter criteria.

IPSO is not independent of the industry. It does not provide the necessary levels of public protection intended following the Leveson Inquiry. pressrecognitionpanel.org.uk/online-safety-…

It has been a decade since victims of press abuse shared their experiences at the Leveson Inquiry. Our new report makes four recommendations to protect the public as Parliament intended.

Our new report on press regulation finds the public is still not protected in the way Parliament intended following the Leveson Inquiry.

The Online Safety Bill provides an opportunity to address this.
