By doing this task i found out what rules you would have to follow when your making a magazine and how to make it right without people criticising it and its like a helping hand for people who don't know how to make magazines (like myself)
| 1 | Accuracy |
i) The Press must take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted information, including pictures. ii) A significant inaccuracy, misleading statement or distortion once recognised must be corrected, promptly and with due prominence, and - where appropriate - an apology published. In cases involving the Commission, prominence should be agreed with the PCC in advance. iii) The Press, whilst free to be partisan, must distinguish clearly between comment, conjecture and fact. iv) A publication must report fairly and accurately the outcome of an action for defamation to which it has been a party, unless an agreed settlement states otherwise, or an agreed statement is published. | |
| 2 | Opportunity to reply |
| A fair opportunity for reply to inaccuracies must be given when reasonably called for. | |
| 3 | *Privacy |
i) Everyone is entitled to respect for his or her private and family life, home, health and correspondence, including digital communications. ii) Editors will be expected to justify intrusions into any individual's private life without consent. Account will be taken of the complainant's own public disclosures of information. iii) It is unacceptable to photograph individuals in private places without their consent. Note - Private places are public or private property where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. |
this information was useful to me because as i am making a magazine i will need "Stepping Stones" as if i didnt have these rules my magazine would be a disaster
