With your help, we will monitor the secretive press “self-regulator” called IPSO and keep you and the public informed.
We will try to keep count of breaches of the code of conduct, identify the chief offenders – which IPSO does not do – and highlight the feeble ‘remedies’ that press bosses think are sufficient.
If you have had dealings with IPSO, or with the complaints department of any news publisher, please let us know.
Tell us about your experience, whatever it was. We promise to respect your privacy and confidentiality.
Confidentiality Agreement. All of the details you share with us will be treated confidentially. From time to time, we may publish anonymised data on the number or type of complaints, but we will not publish anything that would identify individual complainants or complaints without your explicit written permission.
