IPSO raps South Wales Guardian over 'stalker' claim

The press watchdog has rapped a weekly newspaper after it described a man convicted of harassment as a “stalker”. The Independent Press Standards Organisation has upheld a complaint against the South Wales Guardian by Philip Raeburn, who was found guilty of harassment without violence.
