The Israel Press Council was established by representatives of the press (publishers, editors and journalists) and representatives of the public. The Council is responsible for the maintenance of professional ethics in the free press and determines the ethical code to which the press must subscribe. In this capacity, the Council is also responsible for enforcing this code of ethics. Its main objectives are safeguarding freedom of the press and the public's right to know. The Press Council addresses complaints regarding violations of the ethical code, maintaining ethical courts for this purpose. These courts have the authority to impose various punishments on journalists or publications.
