I don't think it is right
Neither do I. I find most of what is written in the press, and the manner in which it is presented, to be on a spectrum ranging from low-grade dross through to abhorrent shit.
Go to liveleak or reddit it you must see someone getting shot.
What's the difference between showing something on liveleak or reddit compared to a paper? Both should be regulated, surely?
It isn't a matter of taste but one of respect
I'll add "showing respect" to the list of things that should be regulated.
[Edit] And "things that people find distressing"

OK to put it even more bluntly - I don't think it is right that the front page of a newspaper should show graphic murder footage.
It isn't a matter of taste but one of respect to somebody who has been murdered. Go to liveleak or reddit it you must see someone getting shot.
Also IPSO is technically independent. Although obviously it isn't but we're not talking about legislation here.
