QUESTIONS about newspaper standards will be fielded during a special public meeting.

The Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) – the regulator for the UK newspaper and magazine industry that holds publications to account for their actions – is to hold a 'town hall' style meeting in Birmingham to mark its second anniversary.

It is taking place at the KPMG office in Snow Hill Queensway, Birmingham at 6.30pm on Wednesday, September 14.

Members of the public, community groups, local politicians and journalism students will be able to hear from the press regulator and ask questions of an expert media panel.

The meeting is open to the public but in order to organise refreshments and seating, those attending should email vikki.julian@ipso.co.uk.
