Royal Charter for Press Regulation

A Royal Charter for Press Regulation is an official, long-term agreement endorsed by the monarchy to establish a formal, independent body overseeing journalistic standards. It aims to promote responsible reporting, uphold press freedom, and protect individuals from misconduct like harassment or false information. The Charter sets out rules for how the press should operate, ensuring transparency and accountability. It also provides mechanisms for addressing complaints and resolving disputes fairly, helping to maintain public trust in the media while balancing free speech with responsible journalism.
