CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS

The Courier is committed to journalism of the highest standards and we aim to produce our newspaper with accuracy, honesty and fairness.

Our journalists adhere to the DC Thomson company values of integrity, respect, commitment and creativity and we abide by the industry’s own code of practice, known as the Editors’ Code. It sets out the rules that newspaper and magazine industry members pledge to accept. More on the code and its rules can be found here http://www.editorscode.org.uk/index.php

All complaints should be addressed to the Editor. It is our policy to publish clarifications and corrections when necessary and as quickly as possible. We will set aside space on P4 or P5 of the newspaper to do so, or, if the complainant requests, in the relevant section of the website. If you wish to make a complaint you can contact us by e-mail at readerseditor@thecourier.co.uk or by writing to The Editor, The Courier, 2 Albert Square, Dundee, DD1 1DD or by calling us on 01382 575269.

If you are still not happy you can contact The Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) which is the independent regulator of the newspaper and magazine industry and administers the Editors’ Code of Practice.

IPSO can be contacted at: Gate House, 1 Farringdon Street, London EC4M 7LG, by e-mailing complaints@ipso.co.uk, logging on to www.ipso.co.uk or by calling 0300 123 2220.
