Abstract

Julian Harris continues his updates on the development of press regulation in the UK. On 26 September 2017 the approved press regulator, IMPRESS, published a news item entitled “IMPRESS is growing fast, with publishers reaching 4.5 million readers”. The release went on to explain that IMPRESS was consolidating its position, with a standards code in force and more publishers joining. Item 7 of the notes included a link to a document entitled “Addressing concerns about IMPRESS’ impartiality: Final report of the internal review panel.” The report concluded that the Chief Executive of IMPRESS, Jonathan Heawood, and two members of the board – a journalist, Emma Jones and Professor Máire Messenger Davies – had all breached IMPRESS’ internal standards.
