Abstract
The report of the Leveson Inquiry in November 2012 following the phone hacking scandal was a critical moment in the history of the UK press, and the question of how precisely to design an effective, independent system of self-regulation is still being fought over to this day. Walter Merricks, Chair of Impress, which bills itself as “the first truly independent press regulator in the UK”, speaking here at a public event organised by the Media Policy Project, announces the first members of his organisation and explains why – unlike the Independent Press Standards Organisation which regulates most major UK newspaper publishers – Impress has decided to apply for external recognition as a regulator by the Press Recognition Panel. A podcast of the event, including a Q&A with members of the audience, is available to listen to here.
