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.
It is by those self-imposed standards that newspapers and magazines can be held to account via the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), which on 8 September 2014 became the new regulatory body for the industry.
The Code is reviewed by the Editors' Code of Practice Committee, which has been restructured to include a stronger lay membership, as well as editors representing the national and regional newspaper and magazine industry.
