Legal and ethical issues

The Editors' Code of Practice is the foundation stone of the UK press self-
regulatory system. It sets out the rules that the voluntarily subscribing
newspaper and magazine industry members have pledged to accept.

One topic that could relate to my work is Accuracy. This includes making sure
that the magazine does not include misleading, inaccurate or distorted
information or images, including headlines not supported by the text.

None of the topics are necessary when it comes to the sort of magazine I am
producing (music magazine)

The Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) is the independent


regulator for the newspaper and magazine industry in the UK. They hold
newspapers and magazines to account for their actions.

Some of the ethical issues that could exist in my work include editing the photos
too much until the point where they dont look much like the original image
anymore.
