Petition to demand Ipso investigate racism in the media hits 5,000 signatures
Reaction to Trevor Kavanagh's "Muslim problem" article continues to grow

Nearly 5,000 people have called on Britain’s press regulator to launch a probe into racism in the media after an article in The Sun chillingly referred to “the Muslim Problem.”

Campaign group Global Justice Now urged people to email the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso).

It followed a call from the National Union of Journalists when its ethics council chair Chris Frost said Ipso  should launch “an immediate investigation into the prevalence of Islamophobia, racism and hatred espoused in the press.”
