How does the PCC work to raise standards aside from dealing with complaints?
We do a huge amount of work to ensure that standards are high right across the industry. Senior PCC representatives run an ongoing programme of training seminars for editors and journalists, using real cases dealt with by the Commission. These are designed to explain various aspects of the Code of Practice in more detail, and can be tailored to suit the requirements of different newsrooms. In addition, we conduct seminars for the vast majority of NCTJ courses in the UK to ensure that new journalists coming into the profession are striving for the highest possible standards.
