How our journalists work
Ethics policy
The maintenance of high editorial standards is at the core of OK! Magazine’s philosophy.
OK! Magazine is published by Express Newspapers, a subsidiary company of Reach PLC, which is a founder member of and regulated by IPSO, the Independent Press Standards Organisation.
Our journalists work according to The Editors’ Code of Practice, which sets the benchmark for ethical standards in journalism and is enforced by IPSO.
We are working with The Trust Project, an international initiative to make it easier for readers to find out more about the organisations and the people providing them with news, and to support quality journalism.
Verification and fact checking
We expect our staff to use their best endeavours to verify the stories being put forward for publication.
Unnamed sources
Journalists have an obligation under IPSO’s Editors’ Code of Practice to protect their sources, but we also have a duty to establish that the sources we use are reliable and that material has been appropriately obtained. Story provenance is ultimately the responsibility of the Editor.
When using unnamed sources, the company relies on the integrity, experience and professionalism of its staff.
Corrections Policy
If you believe a story we have published is inaccurate, please contact the editorial team. You can:
- Email: okletters@reachplc.com
- Phone: 0208 612 7139
Write to OK! Letters, Reach PLC, One Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5AB
- Once verified, we will correct the story on the website as soon as possible. Where appropriate, the fact a correction has been made will be noted on the story and/or on the corrections and clarifications.
If you have an issue about how OK Magazine or OK.co.uk has written about you personally or has treated you and wish to make a formal complaint over a potential breach of the Editor's Code of Practice, please see Reach PLC's Complaints Policy and Procedure.
