Help with letter of complaint to the editor - see news article

mrs.snooks

Dear All,

Please see link below to an article about 'soaring' PIP payments for 16-17 year olds.

I would like to write a letter of complaint about this and understand the best place to start is to write a letter to the Editor. I was wondering about your thoughts about this article and about how I should respond.

Many thanks in advance,

Mrs Snooks.

  • Or maybe a complaint to the IPSO?

    From the IPSO

    https://www.ipso.co.uk/

    Clause 1 – Accuracy

    i) The Press must take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted information or images, including headlines not supported by the text.

    ii) 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.

    iv) The Press, while free to editorialise and campaign, must distinguish clearly between comment, conjecture and fact.

  • Urgh, what a vile article. I will have a think because there are so many things wrong with it.
