Apply to join IPSO’s reader’s panel.

Standard

The Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) is inviting applications from members of the public that read newspapers and magazines and who have an interest in how they are regulated. IPSO is very keen to have as diverse a group as possible involved in its work, so applications are positively sought from people of all ages and from minority communities, who may not have considered working with a regulator in the past.

The panel will meet three times a year to discuss IPSO’s work and approach and to help senior IPSO staff with the development of new guidelines.

Further information is available here: https://www.ipso.co.uk/aboutus/vacancies.html

Applications are made by short covering letter accompanied by a CV by email: recruitment@ipso.co.uk or by post to: Recruitment, IPSO, Gate House, 1 Farringdon Street, London EC4M 7LG.
