PCC Stands for the ''Press Complaints Commission, and the company is self regulated, the newspapers pay for the commission, meaning that the PCC 'dont want to bite the hand that feeds'.
The Press Complaints Commission is funded by the annual levy which it charges magazines and also newspapers. When a publication breaches the code, the PCC's first attempt to right the wrong is too take adjudication with due prominence.
The publish and be damned policy is that they write whatever they feel like and worry about the consequences later on. The most common complaint to the Press Complaints Commission is the accuracy of what they do.
The code covers lots of different areas, including Discrimination, Harassment, Victims of sexual assault, and also children and children in sex cases. The editors attempt to try and worm their way out of accusations by stating that what they write 'is in the interest of the general public'. The Press Complaints Commission have no legal powers whatsoever.
