PCC decisions mark 3


Yet another PCC decision scraper.

The same code is checked into Tom Lynn’s “pcc-decisions” scraper, but the datastore has a lot of residual crud in it which needs clearing, and I don’t have access to do that. Hence a new scraper :-(

Bill Wiggin MP
The Daily Telegraph
Bill Wiggin MP complained to the Press Complaints Commission that a comment piece was inaccurate and misleading when it stated that he had been "found guilty of dishonesty".
2011-06-06
1
The complaint was resolved when the PCC negotiated the publication of the following apology, in the newspaper and online, together with the removal of the original article from its website: Following "It's time to show him the door, Dave" (Nov 13, 2010), we wish to make clear that Bill Wiggin MP was not, as we mistakenly reported, found guilty of dishonesty by any official body for specifying his second home as his main residence to get a parking permit. We apologise for this misunderstanding.

EastEnders
Daily Mirror
Ms Carolyn Weinstein, Company Manager of EastEnders, complained to the Press Complaints Commission that an article about a threat to ban staff, including cast members, caught leaking storylines was misleading when it suggested - particularly through the use of a photograph - that Shane Richie and Steve McFadden were under suspicion.
2011-06-06
1
The complaint was resolved when the PCC negotiated the publication of the following clarification, in the newspaper and online: On 20th April we said that EastEnders bosses had warned all staff, including cast members, that if anyone was found to be leaking confidential information they would be in breach of contract and would not work for the BBC again. We would like to make it clear that neither Shane Richie nor Steve McFadden are under suspicion of leaking any information.

2011-06-03

Full Fact
Daily Mail
Patrick Casey of Full Fact complained to the Press Complaints Commission that the newspaper had published inaccuracies in relation to a pilot study of how welfare reforms will affect current incapacity benefit claimants. In particular, the complainant was concerned that the newspaper had overstated the proportion of claimants who had been found "fit to work" by the study.
2011-06-03
1
The complaint was resolved when the PCC negotiated the publication of the following clarification in the newspaper and amendment of the article online: Benefit Claimants In common with other newspapers, an article on 11 February reported official Department for Work and Pensions figures which suggested that 68 per cent of incapacity claimants were receiving benefits despite being fit for work. While 29 per cent were found fit for work straight away, the other 39 per cent were assessed as being unable to work now but able to work in the foreseeable future. We are happy to clarify the position.

Sir Alan Davies
Willesden & Brent Times
Sir Alan Davies complained to the Press Complaints Commission that an article reporting on an investigation into bonuses at a school of which he was head teacher contained inaccuracies.
2011-06-02
1
The complaint was resolved when the PCC negotiated the publication of the following correction: In an article in the Times published on 9 December, 2010 it stated Sir Alan Davies, former head teacher of Copland Community School in Cecil Avenue, Wembley, was paid a bonus of £403,000 in one year. The Times would like to apologise for this error and to point out that Sir Alan did not receive a bonus of £403,000 in one year but was allegedly paid bonuses of £130,000 over a two year period in addition to his normal salary.

Helen Iaccarino
The Citizen (Gloucestershire)
Helene Iaccarino complained to the Press Complaints Commission that the newspaper's coverage of her daughter's tragic and unexpected death contained inaccuracies and represented an intrusion into her grief in breach of the Editors' Code. The newspaper had initially reported the death and this was followed up with a tribute article and an account of the child's funeral but the complainant had identified concerns about each piece.
2011-06-02
1, 5
The newspaper acknowledged that its earlier articles misreported details of the funeral and considered that this aspect of the complaint had been addressed with the publication of a correction on this point. The newspaper attempted to respond to some of the complainant's further concerns in correspondence and the complaint was eventually resolved when the PCC negotiated the publication of the following correction and apology: We have been asked to clarify certain details regarding our coverage of the sad death of Charlotte James in December 2010. We incorrectly reported the time of Charlotte's funeral on two occasions and apologise for this error. Charlotte did not die "straight away" as a result of injuries to her chest as we reported, but passed away in hospital following epigastric injuries. We are happy to clarify these points and would like to apologise for any additional distress caused to Charlotte's family by our articles.

The company was not involved in the case in any other way and we apologise to them for any impression that they were. Additionally, the accused was convicted of possessing indecent images and not downloading them. We are happy to make these points.
