Year in review

IPSO 2017 Highlights2017 has seen a shift beyond complaints handling to wider engagement and standards raising, with a focus on engagement and empowering the public

January

May

February

June

March April

An external review of IPSO’s independence and

effectiveness conducted by Sir Joseph Pilling,

published in October 2016, provided robust and

vigorous scrutiny. It concluded that IPSO showed

early “promise, commitment and achievement” and

made recommendations for further improvements.

We responded to this publicly on 10 January and

implemented the recommendations throughout 2017.

We published the third round of annual statements

from publishers, required as part of the legally

enforceable contract we have with them. The 79

publishers’ statements are a public record of the

steps publishers take to meet journalistic standards

and what they do when they don’t meet them.

They contribute to our wider monitoring of overall

press standards.

We held the first of our UK-wide roadshows in

Manchester (9 February), engaging with the public on

a wide range of media-related issues and making sure

people were aware of what we do and how we can

help. Further roadshows were held in Birmingham (14

September), Glasgow (18 September) and Belfast (24

October), and we also visited Cardiff (May 2017) to

speak about our work.

We held a series of Twitter Q&As throughout the

year to engage with the public on a range of

issues, including one in June on the wider work

we do beyond complaints handling. We have

engaged with a variety of stakeholders including

NGOs, academics, pressure groups, politicians

and media commentators.

We strengthened our membership through

recruiting new and diverse publishers, including

Southwark News and Rochdale Online in March.

We regulate the majority of the UK’s newspaper

and magazine industry, covering over 1,500 print

editions and 2,500 online publications, through

legally-binding contracts.

We supported editors and journalists to do the best

possible journalism with newsroom training and

outreach year-round, including a round of training

on Editors’ Code compliance and complaints

handling in April with smaller local newspapers.

We are able to offer bespoke newsroom training to

all of our members.

Year in review

December

October

JulyChairman Sir Alan Moses was reappointed for

a second term, saying, “I am looking forward to

reinforcing IPSO’s independence and effectiveness in

my second term.” Complaints statistics for 2016 were

published, showing a sizeable increase in numbers

of complaints and enquiries dealt with from just over

12,000 to almost 15,000. This has increased again in

2017 to over 20,000.

We launched the IPSO Mark, a symbol that

publishers can display to distinguish their

newspaper, magazine or website as a trusted,

quality brand committed to the best professional

standards.

We relaunched our arbitration scheme which allows

ordinary people bring claims for breaches of the

law against the press cheaply, easily and quickly.

We marked three years in operation. Chief

Executive Matt Tee said “there’s much to be quietly

pleased about” including issuing over 200 of our

private advisory notices to help people who were

worried about media intrusion. We offer support

with a 24-hour helpline and private advisory

notices which make it clear to journalists when

people do not want to talk to the press.

We launched information for the public on how

journalists use social media, court reporting, and

reporting deaths and inquests, which carries the

Plain English Crystal Mark. This supports people

to engage with the press if they want to and lets

them know where to go if they need help.

We appointed Nazir Afzal OBE, Miranda Winram

and Andrew Pettie to our Complaints Committee.

We issued guidance about how we make decisions

on the prominence with which editors must publish

remedies to breaches of the Editors’ Code, aimed

at those who want to understand IPSO’s approach

and designed to raise editorial standards.

The annual IPSO lecture was given by John

Whittingdale MP on 6 July, covering a range of issues

including whether the internet and social media

needs wider regulation and why newspapers are vital

for democracy.

We published guidance for journalists and editors to

address questions about social media and the

Editors’ Code on 3 July.

Chairman’s StatementRt Hon Sir Alan Moses, Chairman

Sir Alan giving an interview to The Times in July 2017

2017 has been the year in which IPSO has shown

its mettle: established, confident and firm across the

whole range of its regulatory activities. It was a year

when complaints rocketed to over 20,000; all of

which were dealt with by the staff and the Complaints

Committee with scrupulous fairness and serious focus.

IPSO’s experience of three years has provided a solid

foundation for protecting the public and making

important advances in monitoring and improving

standards. We now have unrivalled experience in

handling, mediating and resolving complaints and

it is that experience we deploy in the guidance we

have published in relation to best practice in reporting

inquests, court reporting, avoidance of intrusion and

harassment, the use of social media, and compliance

with the Editors’ Code. Even a glance at the Editors’

Code Handbook will reveal the extent to which IPSO’s

rulings govern the way journalists and editors behave.

Both our guidance and the contents of the Handbook

set out the questions editors and journalists must ask

before they publish any story which risks infringing the

Code. That imposes a powerful discipline on editors

and journalists, and that discipline is the product of

IPSO’s daily work. Of course some of our decisions

are unwelcome, not just to complainants but to editors

...IPSO stands at the boundary between protection of the public and freedom of speech; it preserves both by striking a balance...

as well. But they are our decisions; they are not the

decisions of politicians, nor of those we regulate, nor

of anyone else. They are reached conscientiously

and independently. We have a high proportion of

complainants who say they are pleased with our help

and support. As for editors, they have no choice but to

obey our rulings.

Successful press regulation depends on scrutiny of the

judgement of editors. The central distinction between

the press IPSO regulates and babble on the web, is that

the content of it depends on the judegment of editors; it

is their responsibility to comply with the Editors’ Code.

IPSO’s duty is to hold them to that Code and provide

guidance to avoid breaches in the future.

IPSO stands at the boundary between protection of

the public and freedom of speech; it preserves both by

striking a balance. I am confident and proud of our

ability to continue to do so. I gain my confidence from

the extraordinary abilities of our staff, who daily work

with compassion and skill looking after those who feel

cowed by the power of the press. My confidence is

coupled with my respect for our commanding Board

and trenchant and independent Complaints Committee.

Press regulation is no easy matter; IPSO walks a fine

line but it will continue to do so with a steady and

fearless tread.

Chairman’s statement

Chief Executive’s statement

...IPSO is determined to be not just an effective handler of complaints but also to monitor and improve standards in the media...

By the end of 2017, we had accumulated over three

years’ experience of regulating UK news media,

including receiving and considering over 50,000

complaints, training hundreds of individuals in

universities and newsrooms, publishing guidance

documents for journalists and information leaflets for

the public. We also worked with representative groups

to address concerns about reporting suicide, reporting

around transgender issues and other topics. I am proud

of the progress we have made, and the support we

have given to thousands of individuals in carrying out

our work.

Looking forward to 2018, this track record, and the

credibility it has begun to foster among those we

regulate, the wider public and, albeit more slowly,

their political representatives, has contributed to a

strengthening of our powers. Our new compulsory

arbitration scheme (from 31 July 2018), whereby

individuals can pursue financial damages from

publishers without resorting to the courts, represents a

new step for us. Its impending launch may also have

helped to persuade a narrow parliamentary majority that

Section 40 measures, to incentivise publications to join a

Matt Tee, Chief Executive

Chief Executive’s Statement

state-backed regulator, were unnecessary.

This is not the time for complacency however. IPSO

is determined to be not just an effective handler of

complaints but to monitor and improve standards in the

media. The prolonged and often emotionally charged

debate over the Data Protection Bill also demonstrates

that media standards and our work will continue to be

closely scrutinised. We will continue to hold to account

the unacceptable, to ensure mistakes are corrected

and errors of judgement addressed. We will also work

with others to maintain and improve standards, without

sacrificing the robust, fair but fearless reputation which

UK journalism at its best truly deserves.

Raising Press Standards

Using knowledge and data from daily work

with complaints, wide monitoring of the

media landscape, and by engaging with

groups interested in coverage of particular

issues, we aim to track patterns and identify

areas of potential concern to provide targeted

interventions to raise press standards and

compliance with the Editors’ Code.

In 2016, our priority was to focus on ensuring

that the daily work carried out by IPSO’s

complaints team fed into IPSO’s broader

commitment to press standards. In 2017,

we used that information to work with

individual members on their compliance

with the Editors’ Code; to improve their

complaints handling; and to engage with

the industry on challenging issues.

2017 represented the third set of annual

statement submissions. The statements

are a key requirement under the terms of

publishers’ legally-binding contract with IPSO.

They are a public statement, in a publisher’s

own words, of the steps they take to meet

journalistic standards and what they do

when they don’t meet those standards.

As a body of work, they clearly show the

public how newspapers maintain and monitor

editorial standards, how they respond to

complaints, and the action they take to put

things right when required. Importantly,

publishers are required to explain how they

have addressed any upheld complaints so

that a similar breach does not occur again.

A clear development in this year’s statements

was how publishers have learnt from

readers’ complaints, upheld adjudications

and resolved complaints and applied that

to their training of staff with reference to

press standards and the Editors’ Code.

Our standards work has been supported by

two advisory panels. One brings together

ten journalists working for national and local

newspapers and magazines below the level of

editor, whilst the other panel is made up of ten

readers of newspapers and magazines, drawn

from across the UK. Both panels have been

invaluable in helping us to make sure that our

standards work is communicated clearly and

addresses the key questions that journalists

or members of the public might have.

IPSO has a broader commitment to press standards which goes far beyond complaints handling

� We also gave over 100 talks to young journalists at universities and other training institutions about IPSO and the Editors’ Code.

Engagement� We have met with over 200 organisations interested in specific coverage of issues including

MIND, Academy of Medical Sciences, Science Media Centre, Editors’ Code of Practice Committee, Network of Sikh Organisations, Regents Park Mosque, Anti Muslim Hate Crime Working Group, Samaritans, and the Religion Media Centre.

� We launched our journalist and reader advisory panels to act as a focal point for the public to feed back on their experiences of IPSO, and to bring the voices and opinions of the working journalists and readers into our work.

In the vast majority of cases, journalists comply

with the rules, but if someone has made it clear

that they do not want to speak to reporters,

we have a 24-hour harassment helpline to

offer support and advice to those who believe

they are the subject of press intrusion.

When carrying out reporting, journalists must

Beyond complaints: Dealing with harassment

Help With Press Intrusion And Harassment57 private advisory notices issued this year alongside 24-hour support and advice

Harassment leaflet

We also have the power to issue private advisory

notices. These notices make it clear to reporters that an

individual doesn’t want to be contacted. To date, we

have issued more than 150 private advisory notices.

The notices are extremely effective as a tool to tackle

media scrums or to prevent harassment. They can

also pass on concerns about the potential publication

of intrusive or private information or help people

find space at a time of grief or shock – making

clear, for example, that those who have suffered a

bereavement do not want to talk to the press.

Private advisory notices Case study

“IPSO has provided invaluable support at the request of

West Yorkshire Police around a number of high-profile

incidents that have attracted a significant level of

media interest.

One of our main aims is always to support the families

of victims, particularly around sensitive events such

as funerals.

The help and advice that IPSO has been able to give,

including the use of private advisory notices, has

increased our ability to circulate guidance on behalf of

families to as full a complement of media outlets across

the country as possible.

While the media usually take our guidance on board, it

has been clear that IPSO’s involvement adds additional

weight to those messages which helps to reduce the

impact of media interest on the affected families.

It is an option that we regularly highlight to our family

liaison officers during their training.”

adhere to the strict rules in the Editors’ Code. The

Code requires journalists to approach bereaved family

members with sympathy and discretion; not to break

the news of a death to immediate family; and to ensure

their reports are accurate. Reporters must also respect

privacy and stop their approaches if an individual

makes clear they do not wish to talk to the media.

In 2016, we asked Sir Joseph Pilling KCB to carry out an external review

into our independence and effectiveness, which aimed to identify things we

could do better and enact changes which would benefit of our work.

Pilling also looked at the recommendations made in the Leveson Report

and analysed the extent to which these had been adopted and fulfilled

by IPSO.

Forty five recommendations were made, “intended to help a new

regulator, which demonstrates early achievement, promise and

commitment, to develop into a trusted, experienced regulator”.

The recommendations are based on IPSO’s independence; Board; the

Editors’ Code of Practice; complaints handling and staff; Standards

function; review process; membership and awareness raising.

Responding to the Pilling Review

Forty five recommendations were made “intended to help a new regulator, which demonstrates early achievement, promise, and commitment to develop in to a trusted experienced regulator”

IndependencePilling concluded: “To date and throughout this process of review I have seen no evidence of IPSO’s decision-taking being improperly influenced by the industry.” He also noted that it is “no easy task” for IPSO to gain the public’s trust as an independent regulator.

FundingPilling recommended that an obligation to reach full-term funding agreements should be included in IPSO’s articles of association and the Regulatory Funding Company’s (RFC) articles of association.

IPSO’s Board, Complaints Committee and staffPilling recommended drawing up an appropriate code or codes of conduct for staff and members of the Board and the Complaints Committee. Pilling described the assistance provided by IPSO’s complaints officers as “high quality”. He also made a number of recommendations for staff training.

The Editors’ Code Pilling said “I have found that there are few if any criticisms of the contents of the Editors’ Code” and recommended it continue to be the responsibility of the Editors’ Code Committee as presently constituted.

We note this finding and have continued work to build public trust.

We agree in principle, although this is not a decision for us alone. We have agreement with the RFC for a review of the contract and regulations in the run-up to contract renewal in 2019 and this proposal will form part of that review.

We have created a new code of conduct for staff and members of the Board and Complaints Committee.

We have implemented a number of new, formal training programmes to fully equip staff to carry out their roles to the highest standard and have reviewed and revised our style of correspondence with complainants.

We agree that arrangements for the Code should remain the same.

Implementing The Recommendations

Complaints handling

Pilling recommended producing guidelines on the

application of ‘due prominence’ which should include case

studies and explain why in those cases IPSO believed that the

adjudication or correction was given due prominence.

Standards

Pilling recommended that funding arrangements for any

standards investigation should remain as they are. He also noted

“It would be a serious mistake to launch a standards investigation

on relatively flimsy grounds. It ought to be exceptional”.

Whistleblowing hotline

Pilling said “The procedure IPSO now has in place

is more than adequate to ensure confidentiality and

enable journalists to be confident about using it.”

Annual statements

Pilling suggested offering guidance for publishers on

what is required in an annual statement.

Private advisory notices

Pilling did not recommend any changes, and described

it as a well-run and highly valued service.

This has been produced and is

available on IPSO’s website.

We agree with this recommendation.

We welcome this finding.

We have revised guidance for

publishers on this.

The scheme is a method of dispute

resolution used to provide a cost-effective,

straightforward and quick method of

solving legal disputes between claimants

and participating members of the press,

including claims for libel, slander,

misuse of private information, breach

of confidence, malicious falsehood,

harassment and data protection.

Participation in the scheme is voluntary,

and both parties agree to binding

arbitration overseen by specialist

barristers. It is managed by Europe’s

largest independent Alternative

Dispute Resolution provider, CEDR.

It is a process which two sides agree to

use instead of going to court. It works

like court, with an independent arbitrator

ruling on the claim and requiring a remedy

where the law has been breached.

It is a low cost arbitration process

designed specifically to rule on media

law disputes. An expert barrister will

impartially rule on the claim. Fees are

kept low, and a ruling can be made more

quickly than going through the courts.

2017 saw a focus on profile-raising work and engagement with

the public and other interested parties like NGOs, academics,

pressure groups, politicians and media commentators. While not

leaping on every opportunity to comment there were opportunities

to communicate the robustness of our work and to counter

incorrect and misleading assertions. There were also a number

of high profile rulings which allowed us to illustrate our work.

Effective Complaints Handling

There has been a significant increase in

complaints from the previous year. We also issued

over 100 more rulings than the previous year.

We believe that this increase can be attributed

to a rising awareness of IPSO and its work, and

also a busy news agenda, with a number of

articles which sparked multiple complaints.

In 2017 we developed a system for measuring

complainant feedback, so that we can check

the level of service we offer to complainants.

We have received extremely positive feedback

from people who have used our services.

with 90% saying they would recommend

IPSO to those in a similar position.

IPSO dealt with over 20,000 complaints and enquiries in 2017

Having been established for over three years,

we have a large volume of past decisions,

showing how the Complaints Committee applies

the Code to particular questions and issues.

We have used the lessons from these decisions

to expand our work beyond handling

complaints. Members of the complaints team

have developed a pilot training programme

for regional publishers which gives advice

on how to ensure that published material

complies with the Editors’ Code, best

Using lessons learned to develop best practice

practice for complaints handling, and how

best to respond if things do go wrong.

The pilot programme was delivered to two

publishing groups in 2017 and was very

successful. We hope that it will be a helpful

addition to the pre-publication guidance

service, which has long been provided to

publishers by the complaints team, and will

add value for our members. It will also ensure

that complaints are handled more effectively by

publishers, which will benefit complainants.

Case Studies

Case studies

A round-up of some of 2017’s complaints and how they were dealt with

Pauline Gorman complained that the Daily Star had used

an image of her 16-year-old daughter in a montage of

people missing after the Manchester terrorist attack.

She said that her daughter had not been involved in the

attack and the use of her photograph had intruded into her

daughter’s private and family life, as well as her time at school.

The newspaper said it had removed the image as soon

as it was notified that it was part of a social media hoax

and it published a correction the following day.

In making its decision, the Committee acknowledged the

important role of newspapers reporting on the aftermath

of a terror attack. However, although circumstances were

exceptional, the newspaper was ultimately responsible for

the accuracy of its article and had not taken additional

steps to verify its information before publication.

The Committee took into account the fact that the newspaper

had published a prominent and prompt apology when

deciding the nature of the remedy required for the breaches

it had established, but the false information regarding

the complainant’s daughter clearly related to her welfare

and intruded into her time at school and her privacy.

Therefore the complaint was upheld and the newspaper was

required to publish an adjudication on page 4 of the newspaper.

Gorman vs Daily Star: Failure to check accuracy of social media information on Manchester terror attack victims breached Code

HRH Prince Henry of Wales vs Mail Online: Surreptitious, long lens photos taken while the Prince was engaged in private leisure activities breached his privacy

IPSO received a complaint from Prince Harry that Mail

Online breached his privacy by publishing photos of

him in swimwear on a private beach without his consent

while he was attending a friend’s wedding in Jamaica.

The publication said that it had been provided

with credible information that the complainant had

been on a public beach when the photographs

were taken, but subsequently discovered

they had been misinformed about this.

The Committee ruled that the Prince had been engaging

in private leisure activities in circumstances in which he

had a reasonable expectation of privacy. Photographing

an individual in such circumstances is unacceptable,

unless it can be justified in the public interest, so the

Committee upheld the complaint under Clause 2 of

the Editors’ Code. It ordered Mail Online to publish

an adjudication on the top fifth of its homepage.

Gillian Perrin complained that The News (Portsmouth)

had published an unpixelated photo of her 13-year-

old son without her consent in an article on a police

appeal for help identifying 30 individuals as part of an

investigation into public disorder at a football match. She

said this had caused considerable distress for them both.

The newspaper said it had been asked if it wanted

to publish the story by the police press office who

had supplied the images and a press release.

The aim of publishing the images was to identify

those pictured and it was not made aware of their

names or ages. Once identified, the complainant’s

son’s face had been obscured at the police’s

request, and his image was not re-published.

The Committee noted that the Code provides specific

and important protection to children. The fact that the

complainant’s son was suspected of being involved

Perrin vs The News (Portsmouth): Editors should be vigilant to the ages of photograph subjects to avoid inadvertent breaches of Clause 6 (Children)

IPSO received a complaint from a former police officer

who had been dismissed by Northumbria Police after

pleading guilty to improperly exercising the powers

and privileges of a police constable. The Newcastle

Chronicle reported this and accompanied their article

with a photograph of the complainant at her front door.

The complainant said this photograph was taken

by tricking her into answering the door and that

this breached her privacy, and was harassment.

The newspaper said that its reporter and photographer

acted professionally at the complainant’s house

and that it was standard practice to illustrate stories

with images of those convicted of criminal offences.

The pictures were taken from a public place, and

the complainant was fully visible from the street.

When making its decision, IPSO’s Complaints

Committee reviewed the photographs and accounts

provided by the newspaper and the complainant.

It considered that the newspaper’s approach to

the complainant’s home in order to photograph

her as she answered the door had the potential

to intrude into her privacy, and as a non-public

figure, she had a reasonable expectation of

privacy while answering her front door.

However, the Committee decided that it was in the

public interest to identify the complainant as the

individual convicted of an abuse of her public position,

and the limited level of intrusion was proportionate to

the public interest. The complaint was not upheld.

Turnbull vs Newcastle Chronicle: Ruling clarifies the Code’s general approach to ‘doorstep’ photography

Case studies

in criminal activity was a matter which clearly related

to his welfare, engaging Clause 6. An exceptional

public interest was required, to override the child’s

right to protection from intrusion. In this case, there

was an exceptional public interest in publishing the

boy’s photograph to identify individuals suspected of

criminal activity and the complaint was not upheld.

Case studies

Bob Ward complained that the Mail on Sunday

had published claims from an award-winning

former senior scientist’s climate change blog,

which he said were misleading and inaccurate.

The newspaper defended the accuracy

of its coverage and said it was entitled to

highlight the concerns of the scientist.

The Committee made clear in its decision that its role

is not to rule on whether claims or counter-claims

are true. However the newspaper’s characterisation

of the scientist’s claims in the blog was ruled to

be significantly misleading, so the complaint was

upheld on a number of points and the newspaper

was ordered to publish a full adjudication.

Moussa Syed complained about an article reporting a

breaking news story on Mail Online that worshippers

leaving a mosque in Finsbury Park had been hit by a

van. He said the article contained inaccuracies about

which mosque had been targeted by the attack.

Mail Online said it had received information from

several reputable news agencies that the attack

had taken place outside a mosque in Finsbury Park,

believed to be Finsbury Park Mosque. It said that

there was initial confusion due to the fast-moving

nature of the story, but as soon as it was informed

that the attack had in fact occurred outside the

Muslim Welfare House, it amended the headline.

IPSO’s Complaints Committee did not uphold

the complaint as Mail Online had taken sufficient

care to ensure the accuracy of information, given

the ‘breaking’ nature of the story. As soon as it was

made aware of updated information it amended the

headline and the article to reflect this, and added a

footnote to the article to make this amendment clear.

Ward vs Mail on Sunday:Committee’s role is to judge accuracy of reporting not the validity of claims and counter-claims

Holly Hunter complained that thesun.co.uk had

breached her privacy in an article which contained

a series of photographs of members of the public as

they enjoyed the hot weather in July 2017. One of the

photographs was of the complainant as she sunbathed

in a bikini on Brighton beach, which she said she

had not consented to being taken or published.

Thesun.co.uk did not accept that the publication

of the photograph represented an intrusion into

the complainant’s private life as the activity she

was engaged in was not private in nature and the

photo had been taken on a busy public beach. The

publication also said that photographing members

of the public enjoying hot weather is a long-

established practice of the UK newspaper industry.

A man complained that publications had breached

Clause 1 (Accuracy), Clause 2 (Privacy), Clause 7

(Children in sex cases), and Clause 11 (Victims of sexual

assault) in articles which reported that a man had been

given a prison sentence for historic sexual offences.

The complainant said that the articles included details

about the victim, their family’s response to the abuse,

including the age at which the victim contacted the police

and what had caused them to do so, which made them

identifiable. They were also concerned about the inclusion

of graphic details about the nature of the offences, which

he said should not have been repeated outside of court.

The publications said it is essential that the press are

able to report on such cases and that to do so, it

is necessary to include certain details to inform the

public. The publications provided explanations as to

why they did not believe specific pieces of information

IPSO’s Complaints Committee acknowledged the

complainant’s concern that she had been photographed

without her consent. However, given the location she

was photographed in and the fact that her activity was

not private in nature, she did not have a reasonable

expectation of privacy so her complaint was not upheld.

were likely to contribute to identification of the victim

and demonstrated where they had taken active steps

to omit certain details to reduce this possibility.

IPSO’s Complaints Committee ruled that in accordance

with the principle of open justice, the newspapers

were entitled to report on the case. Clause 11 of the

Code requires that, in doing so, they do not publish

material likely to identify the victim. The Committee

acknowledged the publications had taken steps

to comply with this obligation, but because they

included details which could only reasonably be

applied to a relatively narrow class of individuals, and

reported these alongside the age of the victim, and

the time frames for the offences, they represented

material which was likely to identify the victim.

The complaints were upheld and the newspapers

were ordered to publish IPSO’s full adjudications.

The turnover above represents contributions from the Regulatory Funding Company (RFC) and a budget for a further four years has now been negotiated. The increase in administrative costs above, which reflect the resources required to monitor and maintain the standards set out in the Editors’ Code of Practice and provide support and redress for individuals seeking to complain about breaches in the Code, relates to both an increase in staff and other operating costs.
