Circular 40/07

Circular to all Broadcasting Stations

Requirements as to Standards and Practice
applicable to News Bulletins and Current Affairs Programmes

By means of Government Notice 729 of 2007, the Authority has published a new version of the above requirements which came into force yesterday.

The new Requirements are found in paragraph 8.15 regulating “Rights of Reply” and in the last sentence of paragraph 13.1.1 which obliges the broadcaster to air that part of the interview where s/he has sought the consent of the interviewee to record the interview.

Please circulate this circular to all producers, especially those involved in news and current affairs programmes as well as to all your newsroom journalists and staff.

The Monitoring Department will be monitoring all news and current affairs programmes to ensure that they comply with the mandatory new requirements.

A copy of the said Requirements is attached for ease of reference.
