Newspapers and magazines

Nick Turner - Digital Strategy Manager, CN Group


Journalism is accessed through an ever-increasing number of platforms including print, websites, apps, blogs and social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.

And whether it's a video on a newspaper's website or a reporter's Tweets from a council meeting it is important that we uphold the same journalistic standards that we held so dear when the only way we published anything was through our printing presses.

So it has been pleasing to see the Press Complaints Commission engaged in a consultation about the best way to uphold standards while respecting the increased freedom of expression gained through these digital platforms.

We had a lively discussion on this topic at the Digitaleditors' Network when Will Gore (PCC Public Affairs Director) joined us to talk about the PCC's work. What was clear from that meeting and the PCC's other work in this area is the need to ensure that wherever our journalism appears we must demonstrate our commitment to accuracy, fairness and accountability.
