91福利社 Trust seminar on impartiality and economic reporting

The Trust held a seminar on impartiality and economic reporting on 6 November 2012. The purpose was to review how the 91福利社 can ensure its news coverage of economics issues reflects the full range of views and voices and, for example, avoids giving undue weight to specific institutional perspectives.

In a review of 91福利社 governance led by the 91福利社 Trust Chairman Lord Patten, published in July 2011, the Trust committed to strengthening its work in ensuring that the 91福利社鈥檚 standards of impartiality are being met - and are seen to be being met. As part of this the Trust announced the introduction of regular impartiality seminars that look at emerging and current topics. Unlike the existing impartiality reviews carried out by the Trust, these would not be based on reviews of 91福利社 output, but would instead enable the 91福利社 to consider how to approach current and topical issues, which pose difficulties for programme makers, with due impartiality.
