The Press Complaints Commission has published the statistical breakdown that was requested when its chairman, Lord Hunt, appeared before the commons media and culture select committee two weeks ago.The PCC has put up two tables on its website. One shows all recorded breaches of the editors' code of practice for complaints concluded between 2011 and 2013. This encompasses cases where adjudications were upheld and where sufficient remedial action was taken. The latter are complaints in which, though the commission established that a breach of the code had occurred, it decided that the publication had offered, or taken, action to remedy the breach. These figures are accompanied by a breakdown by publication.The second table shows all recorded resolved complaints concluded between 2011 and 2013. These are cases in which the PCC mediated a resolution to the complaint and no ruling was therefore made by the commission. Again, there is an additional table with a breakdown by publication.So what do we learn from this set of statistics?First, in line with the overall complaints figures published a couple of weeks ago by Hacked Off, and then republished on this blog, the Daily Mail was the top offender.It was responsible for 47 breaches while The Sun committed 19 plus a further six by its Scottish edition. The Daily Telegraph was responsible for 17, followed by two papers with 10 offences each: The Guardian and the London Evening Standard.The Mail also heads the table for resolved...
