The newspaper industry is to reject cross-party press regulation plans, and will publish proposals for self-regulation backed by royal charter.
The three main political parties agreed to a royal charter last month in response to Lord Justice Leveson's report on press standards and ethics.
They said an independent watchdog would be set up by Royal Charter with powers to issue fines and demand apologies.
But newspapers argue that they had no say in the final discussions.
According to a statement released by the Newspaper Society on behalf of the national and local newspaper industry, the industry said the royal charter published by the government on 18 March had been condemned by a "range of international media freedom organisations" and enjoys "no support within the press" in the UK.
"A number of its recommendations are unworkable and it gives politicians an unacceptable degree of interference in the regulation of the press," warned the statement.
The industry's proposal is closely based on the draft royal charter published on 12 February following negotiations with national and local newspapers and magazines.
The statement described it as "a workable, practical way to swiftly deliver the Leveson recommendations, which the industry accepts, without any form of state-sponsored regulation that would endanger freedom of speech".
The statement said the new proposal has "widespread backing across the industry".
Those who arranged the response said all national papers apart from the Guardian and Independent were signed up.
