AOB 6-Regulation for Music Press
All music magazines are regulated by the self regulatory Press Complaints Comission (PCC). Lord Hunt is the Chairman of the PCC from October 2011. The PCC is funded through the sales of magazines and newspapers. The code deals with various complaints theses are privacy, harassment, crimes against children, victims of sexual assault and discrimination charges. However the most common complaint made is about the accuracy of the magazines articles. Although a lot of such included in the press is seen as inappropriate, editors just claim it is for the good of the public to know. The PCC has been criticism for there lack of action in certain incidents like the phone hacking affair and as such the PCC has been called in to be replaced.
