Press Complaints Commission

The Press Complaints Commission (PCC) was a voluntary regulatory body for British printed newspapers and magazines, consisting of representatives of the major publishers from 1991 until its shutdown in September 2014 following the News International phone hacking scandal in 2011. The scandal resulted in the judicial Leveson Inquiry led by Lord Justice Leveson into the culture, practices and ethics of the British press and led to the formation of the royal Charter on self-regulation of the press to oversee press regulators as they had shown to be ineffective in self-regulating without oversight.
