IPSO (Independent Press Standards Organisation)
- The IPSO are independent regulators that monitor press standards. They take into account the actions that a magazine has conducted and gives the magazine an actions for their behaviour. Their job is to protect individual rights and maintain freedom of expression. They are financed by the Regulatory Funding Company which are funded by members of publication. If they don't exist and there is no regulation, the government has to step in and the last thing a magazine would want to be told is what they are allowed to put in their magazines and what they are prohibited from putting on their magazines.This might lead to politicians using the magazine as a source for a biased propaganda.
