I have ensured that my article follows the IPSO (an organisation who modertaes press standards in the UK) Editor's Code by thoroughly researching the exercise tips and informtation I included to ensure that it's as accurate as possible. I did not use hyperbole or misleading information to encourage people to take up a specific regime or way of life, instead explaining the merits of said tips to connote the importance of the information without misinforming or exaggerating. To this end, I made sure that the information was advice - conjecture, and not fact, by suggesting instead of telling via the peer to peer mode of address.
In addition, I'm also adhering to the IPSO Editor's Code by writing about a subject that is in the 'Public Interest' - the health and wellbeing of the public. But I also considered the guideline to take into account the proliferation of fitness and dieting articles and sources that are popular at the point in time. To do this, I recommended general guidance and advice gathered from a variety professionals and experts, rather than my own knowledge, to ensure that the information, while not exclusive to the article, is shown and collected uniquely to not saturate the subject any further.
The information I gathered is all from publically accessable sources, so I did not use subterfuge or other nefarious means to gather such information to be used. This complies with IPSO as any information used was allowed to be used.
As my article is designed to appear online, I'll take into account W3C's regualtions as well. To make my article accessible and easy to use, the links provided for social media profiles and websites of experts are explained and go straight to the desired, safe, location.
Regulations by Gultan and Ruge were also considered - for example, 'Unambiguity' was considered, as the target audience is not informed about specific info or jargon none was included, instead, theories and ideas were simplified to make it accessible.
