ETHICS

The maintenance of high editorial standards is at the core of Gloucestershire Live's philosophy.

Reach PLC, the Echo's parent company, is a member of and is regulated by IPSO, the Independent Press Standards Organisation.

Our journalists work according to The Editors’ Code of Practice, which sets the benchmark for ethical standards in journalism and is enforced by IPSO. On joining, all editorial staff complete a training course in the Code and have legal refresher training.

We recognise that protecting the rights of the individual consistently comes into conflict with the public’s right to know. This means we have to make difficult judgements, sometimes quickly, which are impossible to get right all of the time.

Regular bulletins and seminars give staff the best opportunity to learn from mistakes, whether our own or those of other parts of the media industry.

We are part of The Trust Project, an international initiative to make it easier for readers to find out more about the organisations and the people providing them with news, and to support quality journalism.

VERIFICATION AND FACT-CHECKING

We expect our staff to use their best endeavours to verify the stories being put forward for publication.
