Its Civic SocietyThe UK’s newspapers are nominally regulated by the Independent Press Standards Organisation. If not, what does that mean for every community, not just British Muslims, and for the civic engagement which a fair press is supposed to protect? A Regulator in Name OnlyIndependent press regulation was introduced after the phone-hacking scandal of the early 21st century. The system was to ensure the press holds itself to a high standard, owed equally to everyone about whom it writes. There is no guarantee that any other organization or individual, from any community, can expect fair and required attention.
