Press regulation refers to the rules and guidelines that govern how media organizations operate, ensuring they adhere to standards of accuracy, fairness, and accountability. These regulations aim to protect the public from misinformation and harmful content while promoting responsible journalism. Various bodies, such as Ofcom in the UK or the Federal Communications Commission in the US, oversee these regulations. In many countries, press regulation also involves mechanisms for addressing complaints from the public about media practices. This can include independent regulatory bodies or ombudsmen that investigate grievances and enforce compliance with ethical standards, helping to maintain trust in the media.
