Quis Custodiet Ipso Custodes?

Quis Custodiet (QC) is dedicated to the notion that all news media should be held accountable.
But there are media organisations that refuse to be regulated by any authority, and others that are, but where the process is too slow or the complaint in some cases not admissible.
In cases like these, QC is the answer

“The voice of opponents no less than of friends has a right to be heard.”

CP Scott, (May 5, 1921)

“A body of men holding themselves accountable to nobody ought not to be trusted by anybody.”

Thomas Paine, (1737–1809)

“The journalist shall do the utmost to rectify any errors or published information which is found to be inaccurate in a timely, explicit, complete and transparent manner.”

International Federation of Journalists, (Global Charter of Ethics for Journalists)

How to File a Complaint

T​o start the confidential complaint process, simply go to our File a Complaint page.

The page takes you through testing the validity of your complaint before submitting it to QC. If you then wish to proceed, it helps you through the submission process.

We charge a GBP 100.00 cost-recovery fee. This would would buy only minutes of a libel lawyer’s time, but it is enough to help us to cover some of the costs of your case review.
