abstract
The Swedish Press Ombudsman has been founded in 1969. The institution – unlike other ombudsmen in Sweden – has no character of a state body based on the law, it is created by media organisations (the National Press Club, the Swedish Union of Journalists and the Swedish Newspaper Publishers Association). The main task of the Press Ombudsman is to provide advice and assistance to individuals who feel themselves to have been wronged or offended by the publicity they have received in a newspaper or periodical, to investigate departures from the code of professional ethics for journalists, either on the initiative of the Press Ombudsman himself or following an application, to refer such cases for a decision by the Press Council (special body created by above-mentioned media organisations, the Parliamentary Ombudsman and Swedish Bar Association) if thought necessary, and, by moulding public opinion, to further adherence to a high standard of press ethics. It might be stated that the functioning of the Swedish Press Ombudsman who deals with approximately 300–400 grievances per year is considered to be successful and seems to be good inspiration for ether countries.
