Regulation and politics

The guardian & observer:

The Guardian is a daily newspaper published by the Guardian group and owned by the Scott Trust.

The guardian is a liberal newspaper. It doesn't follow a political party. It tends to offer the most unbiased, objective perspective. Believe it is important to represent people from all minority groups and countries.

Newspaper industry regulation:

Freedom of the press - The right to circulate opinions in the print without censorship by the government. 

Levenson Inquiry 

IPSO - Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO)

Is a regulator of magazines and newspapers and their online counterparts.

It is funded by magazines and newspaper companies.

Any member of the public can make a complaint to the IPSO

OFCOM - This is the broadcasting regulator.

If a person sees something on TV that they believe should not have been broadcast, they can make a complaint to them. It could be about advertising, something that was said or something that was offensive.

Broadcasters are regulated by Ofcom, which is backed by law.

Other people publishing on the internet, such as bloggers and tweeters, are not regulated as such, but are covered by laws on issues such as libel and contempt of court.

Some, including MPs and peers, have questioned the wisdom of bringing more regulation to the press and not the wider internet.

Lord Justice Leveson himself referred to material on the internet as "the elephant in the room".
