The Society of Editors works to protect the freedom of all sectors of the media to report on behalf of the public.

Society members share the values that matter:

The universal right to freedom of expression

The importance of the vitality of the news media in a democratic society

The promotion of press and broadcasting freedom and the public’s right to know

The commitment to high editorial standards

'In the past year, there have been continuing threats to the first three of these aims; but we have successfully seen off the main ones.

'The campaign on FOI restrictions, and the Coroner’s Court bill – are both now binned thanks in no small measure to campaigning by the Society of Editors.'

Simon Bucks, President, Society of Editors - Associate Editor, Online, Sky News
