Complain to the Media

Making a media complaint

If you have seen something in a newspaper or magazine that you would like to complain about, you can write to the editor, the letters editor, or the journalist. If you don’t receive a reply within one week, or you are not happy with their answer, then you can contact the Independent Press Standards Organisation. IPSO is an independent organisation that deals with complaints from members of the public about the contents of newspapers and magazines.
