Estonian Press Council
In 2002 the association established the Estonian Press Council (Avaliku Sõna Nõukogu), with the purpose of the supervision of the Estonian press. It is a self-regulating body of the Estonian press. It provides a possibility to settle readers' complaints out of court, free of charge.[2]
