The Daily Mirror has been forced to issue a prominent correction after a headline concerning financier Marc Citron was ruled to be 'significantly misleading' by the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO).
The original article, now amended, ran under a headline that breached Clause 1 (Accuracy) of the Editors’ Code of Practice. The press regulator found the framing of the story created a distorted and inaccurate impression for its readers.
In adherence with the ruling, this correction has been published both online and in print to ensure it reaches the same audience that saw the original, erroneous headline. The Mirror's clarification states the article has been edited to remove any inaccuracies and to comply with the standards set by IPSO.
This case highlights the ongoing role of press regulators in upholding media accountability and ensuring factual reporting for the British public.
