Accuracy
The press must take care in what they say and use valuable sources to subjects that are as
accurate as possible and if there is uncertainty the press must make it clear that there's no
inaccurate information A significant inaccuracy, misleading statement or distortion must be
corrected, promptly and with due prominence, and — where appropriate — an apology
published. In cases involving IPSO. This could apply to my magazine as some states and
transfer rumors could be made up so this is avoided and the press should make sure that
this is accurate.

Reporting a crime
For clause 9 relatives or friends of persons convicted or accused of crime should not be
identified without their consent, unless they are relevant to the story. Also must not give
information on the identification of a person who committed a crime under the age of 18. In
magazines if they are talking about someone who is a criminal, Juvenile cases should and
should be avoided if necessary criminal causes should be avoided and accurate or relevant
generally be avoided from being discussed by the press in detail unless a court case is
taking place. This could apply to my magazine as if there was a crime committed and it
had relevance to the subject. It must contain accurate information and be treated with care
and respect, as well as not invading people's privacy and not disclosing information about
juvenile cases.

Intrusion into grief or shock

For clause 4 for cases that involve cases involving personal grief or shock, enquiries and
approaches must be made with sympathy and discretion and publication handled sensitively.
These provisions should not restrict the right to report legal proceedings as well as the
privacy of those affected is respected. This could apply to my magazine as if there was a
case that involved grief such as the death of a footballer, manager or fan this must be
discussed with relevance and care.

Judgement- Ipso

ASA

https://www.asa.org.uk/

ASA stands for advertising standards authority and

is a self regulatory industry in the uk which isn't but
a levy on the advertising industry.
Its purpose is to regulate content for
advertisements as well as other problems on the
market and mainly investigate complaints that have
been made about the ads and decide whether the
advertisements comply with the code.

The advertising association established the committee of advertising practice also known as
CAP in the year 1961. After this was established then in 1962 the industry set up the
Advertising Standards Authority even though it is not run by the public. After ASA
the Molony Committee almost rejected the proposals to introduce a new system to
regulate advertising industry stature. The committee was satisfied with the results
from the asa and how effective it was questioned when non regulatory systems were
as effective. Whereas self regulatory works on maintaining standards for the ASA.

CAP code-
https://www.asa.org.uk/

The Cap code is a set of rules set by the advertising compliance to make sure that none is
offended or doesn't talk about anything unethical or spread misinformation. The twelve
edition of CAP code was published in 2010 on the 1st of March. The CAP code contains 22
sections that hold information on topics like, protecting children,politics,alcohol and privacy
including some additional information.
The system works by non broadcasting adverts and regulating them to the correct standard
if needed.

The code world by protecting people, by not having any misleading information or offensive
content. They protect children, sensitive groups and discriminate or misleading against
anyone else.

Code application ASA

Harm and offence

Harm and offence is section four of the CAP code regulations. This act ensures that ads
must not include people engaging in risky and unsafe behaviour and any violent conduct
more prominently children or the vulnerable. This also includes no discrimination towards
people of different race,sex,sexual orientation and religion. The adverts will also need to
ensure that sensitive topics like war, self harm and suicide are treated properly. The CAP
compliance team does not produce the content so they do not impact this. This could apply
to my magazine as the press should ensure they are careful and don't use any hateful
languge or actions towards people inexplicably.

Misleading information

For misleading information the ads must ensure it is truthful and not twit or over exaggerate
on products,impact of products and effectiveness. If the advert makes a bold claim they must
also support that with evidence. If they were to make a compression they must also do this
fairly and accurately. They themselves can not directly change the content of the magazine
as they do not produce the adverts but they address any issues relating to this. In Four Four
Two the magazine would not feutre any information about football that could be wrong are
harmful to people.

Discrimination

Discrimination in section 12 of the CAP code regulations is ensured as the press should
avoid any act of discrimination towards anyone this includes; their race, gender, sexual
orientation, any disabilities and their religion. If any of this is relevant to the topic and
permission has been granted then these topics can be discussed but with care and respect.
In Four Four Two the magazine would ensure that anyone involved would not be targeted in
a discriminatory way.

Rulings ASA -

There is no judgement for my magazine so i am writing about a judgement for echo patolian
magazine, with issue “Scientists believe that carbon capture is a critical technology to help
meet the world’s ambitious goals for reducing CO2 emissions” this issue was deemed
misleading

The magazine ad KaiAviation clothing in february 2021 was deemed offensive for many
reasons. In one case a woman was seen in a vest posing near an aeroplane and another
that showed a women's behinds saying follow me and the repeated use in the magazine of
the phrase ‘remove before flight’ the complacent believed that the ad objectified women and
was offensive.
Archant thought that the ad was suitable as KaiAviation sold aviation-themed underwear for
men and women and the images showed those products. The “remove before flight” and
“follow me” slogans were well-known aviation terms and were often used in aviation
merchandise. The decision was upheld. The ad must not appear again in the form
complained about. We told Person unknown KaiAviation to ensure that their ads were
socially responsible and did not cause serious or widespread offence by objectifying women.
We referred the matter to CAP's Compliance team
Rulings asa

The ASA deemed that this ad was a breach of rule 1.7 unreasonable delay as they did not
see a response for the complaint and the complaint formally sent a letter but got no
response. They were reminded by the ASA to respond to any other enquiries in the future.

The images showed womens body parts and obscuring their faces with the addition of
suggestive slogans which caused stereotyping women and could be seen as presenting
them as sexual objects. This was all considered and the ad was likely to cause serious
offense to include gender stereotyping and objectifying women and the ad was considered to
likely cause harm. The ad was found to have breached rules 1.3 [social responsibility] as
well as 4.1 and 4.9 [harm and offence] in edition 12 of the rulings.

Kai Action was referred to the CAP compliance team for using offensive images and slogans
that were deemed obscure, objectifying women and crude.
