IMPRESS - The Independent Press Regulator
The Independent Monitor for the Press (IMPRESS) is an independent press regulator in the UK. It was the first to be recognised by the Press Recognition Panel. Unlike the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), IMPRESS is fully compliant with the recommendations of the Leveson Inquiry. IMPRESS regulates over 200 titles, consisting of a variety of independent local, investigative and special interest news publications across the UK. No national newspaper has signed up to the new regulator; most continue to be members of the unrecognised IPSO. Its founder is Jonathan Heawood and its current Chief Executive is Ed Procter. Background In Spring 2011, News International began publicly admitting liability and paying compensation to people whose phone voicemail the News of the World had listened to.

Press Recognition Panel
The Press Recognition Panel (PRP) was created on 3 November 2014 by the Royal Charter on self-regulation of the press. The PRP was established following the Leveson Inquiry (2011–2012), a judicial public inquiry chaired by Brian Leveson, Lord Justice Leveson into the culture, practices and ethics of the British press following the News International phone hacking scandal. The PRP's function is to carry out activities relating to the recognition of press regulators. The new system of independent press regulation received all-party support when it was devised. The system was designed to protect the public as well as promote the freedom of the press. In October 2016, IMPRESS became the UK's first recognised press regulator, after its application was approved by the independent PRP Board.

Dennis Rice
The Freedom Party of Manitoba, founded as the Libertarian Party of Manitoba, is a provincial political party in Manitoba, Canada, advocating cannabis legalization. History The party was created in the mid-1980s and formally changed its name in early 2005, and in 2007 became the Freedom Party of Manitoba. The LPM ran four candidates in the provincial election of 1986, one fewer than was required for official party certification.
