We researched into the press complaints commission editors code and discoveerd that not all practice points apply to some of our magazines. Nonetheless most practice points were relevant to my magazine. To begin with accuracy was one; i saw that i must use correct dates and must distinguish clearly between true and false this applied to me interms of making sure that i do not include false news on artists, no images that are secondary or that to not beong to me are not used and any innacuracies must be corrected or apologised to by printing an apology straight away. A second practice point was to make sure that i give an oppurtunity to readers to reply to innacuarcies when asked for, so a fan page must be include or something similair to that. Privacy was also an important point; because my magzine will not use intrusive paparazzi pictures furthermore i will make sure i do not take intrusive pictures my self. Similiar to privacy was harassment this applies to my magazine and could be considerded most important taking in to mind that many celebrities are constantly harrased. I will prevent that from happening by not harassing and persistently persuing individuals to make news, i will also make sure thata once i am asked to stop questioning or photographing i will stop immediately.
Another point was intrusion into grief or shock is unlikely however considered as not impossible, therfoer in any case if it does occur i muist approach the news with sympathy and in rarae suicide cases i will not use excessivedetail in the method used.
As for children i will make sure i take permission from relevant authorities, when taking pictures of childrena nd approaqching them. I must also make sure taht i do not use a parents fame to publish a childs private life. In rare childrens sex cases i will not identify the child and the word 'incest' will never be used where the child is identfied. Even if legal to identify i will make sure i do not idenify the child in the case. Hospital cases are also rare but do occur therefore i must identify my self from responsible authorities in order to enter non-public areas in hospitals or likewise institutions to retrieve news.
