The Argus (Brighton)

The paper covers local news, politics and sport, including the city's largest football club Brighton & Hove Albion FC.

[citation needed] In February 2018 The Argus was found by the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) to have breached its Editors' Code of Practice with regard to a story which it had published the previous September.

The committee found the reportage to be "a serious and unjustified breach of the Code" and was "extremely concerned" by the "serious failure in relation to both staff training and editorial oversight of material published by the newspaper."

[9][10][11] In October 2018, Newsquest paid "a substantial sum" in compensation and legal costs to a Shoreham businessman whom The Argus had wrongly claimed was connected with the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing and falsely alleged was an "ISIS sympathiser".

[12] In April 2022, editor Arron Hendy defended his decision to publish a picture of Adolf Hitler on the paper’s front page following criticism by Jewish community leaders.
