The Press Complaints Commission is not "currently reviewing its code". The Code is the newspaper and periodical industry's Code of Practice and so the Code Review is being conducted by the Editors’ Code of Practice Committee (http://www.editorscode.org.uk/) which is a separate body and operates independently of the PCC. It writes the rules for the Press and the PCC independently enforces them; following the normal practice in self-regulation that industry contributes to, and co-operates with, the regulatory system. Suggestions for the Code Review should be sent as soon as possible, but no later than 31 January 2010, to Ian Beales, Code Committee Secretary, PO Box 235, Stonehouse, Glos GL10 3UF or by email to: ianbeales@mac.com I’m afraid your blog is is not quite right.
