2.4.2 | Accuracy and opportunity to reply

,  “There is no public interest in accuracy.”

- The Press must take care not to publish inaccurate,
misleading, or distorted information or images, including
headlines not supported by the text.
- A significant inaccuracy, misleading statement or distortion
must be corrected, promptly and with due prominence, and
— where appropriate — an apology published. In cases
involving IPSO, due prominence should be as required by the
regulator.
- A fair opportunity to reply to significant inaccuracies should
be given, when reasonably called for.
- The Press, while free to editorialise and campaign, must
distinguish clearly between comment, conjecture, and fact.
- 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.


2.4.2.1 | Corrections and apologies

- “A significant inaccuracy, misleading statement or distortion”
must be corrected “promptly and with due prominence’, and,
where appropriate, with a published apology, and that in
cases involving Ipso due prominence should be as stipulates.
- Ipso has no power to compel publication of apologies. But a
failure to offer one when appropriate can lead to a complaint
being upheld.
- Ipso has said that an apology is “required” when an error has
been “personal to” and has the potential to be “seriously
damaging to” the complaint.
