*CORRECTION: Our recent publication Free and Fearless stated on page 10 that The Canary was among the independent news publications to have joined IMPRESS, the independent press regulator. However this was a regrettable error, based on mistaken identity, which was introduced by Hacked Off during subbing and not picked up before publication. We understand that the Canary is not a member of IMPRESS and has not claimed to be. We are happy to publish this prominent correction and will enclose a correction in future copies of Free and Fearless.

• Canary Editor Kerry-Anne Mendoza explains how her media outlet’s new business model is paying British journalists fairly and investing in a new Investigative Journalism Fund, and how her outlet will benefit from the new free speech protections that could end decades of chilling, and...
• Alastair Morgan, brother of Daniel Morgan whose murder is the “most investigated in British history”, explains that he only accepted a Panel into his brother’s death with no judicial powers, on the understanding that Leveson Part 2 – which will have judicial powers – would always be the backstop.
