WHAT DOES THE CODE OF PRACTICE COVER?
- The Code of Practice has 16 sections and covers 4 main areas:
- accuracy
- privacy
- news gathering
- protecting the vulnerable
- An editor is expected to take responsibility for all the stories and photographs that appear in the publication and to ensure they comply with the code
- The code does not cover issues of taste and decency. This is because the PCC recognises that in a democratic society, newspapers must have the freedom to choose the style in which they publish material
