Programme Complaints Appeals to the Governors December 2006 Issued January 2007 Programme Complaints Appeals to the Governors Until 31 December 2006, the Board of Governors was responsible for overseeing the running of the BBC, to ensure that the BBC served the public interest. It did this in a range of ways, such as setting key objectives and approving strategy and policy. Most importantly for this bulletin, the Governors were responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of complaints handling by the BBC, including hearing appeals from complainants who were not happy with the responses they received from management to serious programme complaints. The Governors’ Programme Complaints Committee (GPCC) was a subcommittee of four members drawn from the full Board of Governors. For a full account of its remit, please see the last page of this bulletin. This is the final bulletin from the Governors’ Programme Complaints Committee. The BBC Governors have now been replaced by the BBC Trust, and the Editorial Standards Committee will take over the role of GPCC in hearing editorial complaints on appeal. BBC Programme Complaints: Appeals to the Governors Page 2 Foreword by the Acting Chairman of the Governors’ Programme Complaints Committee Until 31 December 2006 it was the job of the Governors’ Programme Complaints Committee (GPCC) to ensure that complaints were properly handled by the BBC. This included taking appeals from individuals dissatisfied with management’s response to serious editorial complaints. Our role was to review the programme or online content against the BBC’s editorial values and guidelines, and make a judgement on whether or not the content concerned breached the standards set out. This is our final complaints bulletin: we have now handed this responsibility on to the BBC Trust and, in particular, its Editorial Standards Committee. We wish the new Committee well in taking on this important responsibility. Fabian Monds Acting Chairman of the Governors’ Programme Complaints Committee BBC Programme Complaints: Appeals to the Governors Page 3 Contents Page Summary of findings (December 2006) Appeals not upheld Andrew Marr’s Daily Telegraph column, 8 February 2006 5 Today, Radio 4, 21 June 2006 8 Newsnight, BBC Two, 3 April 2006 11 Front Row, Radio 4, 2 August 2006 14 From Our Own Correspondent, Radio 4, 15 July 2006 17 BBC News online and BBC World Service coverage of the World Tribunal on Iraq 21 Remit of the Governors’ Programme Complaints Committee 24 BBC Programme Complaints: Appeals to the Governors Page 4 Summary of findings (December 2006) Appeals not upheld Andrew Marr’s Daily Telegraph column 8 February 2006 a) The item The complaint concerned Andrew Marr’s weekly column in The Daily Telegraph where he wrote, on 8 February 2006, about the controversy surrounding the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, which were published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. b) The complaint The complainant believed the column breached the BBC’s Editorial Guidelines by expressing personal political opinions. He made the following points: · Andrew Marr deplored “the gross response of the London marchers who gloated about suicide bombing”, and then went on to suggest that “we need apologies all round”. · The latter comment took sides in the political argument and Mr Marr was “expressing his disapproval of the publication of the cartoons ... the exercise of free speech”. · He argued: “The point here isn’t whether most people would agree with Marr, but whether his political columns are compatible with the impartiality which he must demonstrate in his work for the BBC. I don’t believe they are.” The complaint did not relate to BBC output and fell outside of the Editorial Complaints Unit’s remit. It was, therefore, handled by the Head of Editorial Compliance, BBC News, at Stage 2 of the complaints process. She did not uphold the complaint and the complainant appealed to the Governors’ Programme Complaints Committee. c) Applicable programme standards Section 4 – Impartiality and Diversity of Opinion Impartiality lies at the heart of the BBC’s commitment to its audiences. The Agreement accompanying the BBC’s Charter requires us to produce comprehensive, authoritative and impartial coverage of news and current affairs in the UK ... to support fair and informed debate. It specifies we should do all we can to treat controversial subjects with due accuracy and impartiality in our news services and other programmes dealing with matters of public policy or of a political or industrial controversy. In practice, our commitment to impartiality means: · the approach to, and tone of, BBC stories must always reflect our editorial values. Presenters, reporters and correspondents are the public face and voice of the BBC, they can have a significant impact on the perceptions of our impartiality. · our journalists and presenters, including those in news and current affairs, may provide professional judgments but may not express personal opinions on matters of public policy or political or industrial controversy. Our audiences should not be able to tell from BBC programmes or other BBC output the personal views of our journalists and presenters on such matters. BBC Programme Complaints: Appeals to the Governors Page 5 Editorial Guidelines – Guidance Specific Detailed Guidance For BBC Staff, BBC Correspondents On Non Staff Contracts And Freelancers Primarily Associated With BBC News And Current Affairs Programmes BBC staff and freelances primarily known as presenters or reporters on BBC news and current affairs must not: · state or reveal publicly how they vote or express support for any political party · express views for or against any policy which is a matter of current party political debate · advocate any particular position on an issue of current public controversy or debate · exhort a change in high profile public policy. ARTICLES FOR NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES AND WEBSITES This guidance on writing for newspapers, magazines and websites applies to BBC staff, BBC correspondents on non staff contracts and freelances known to the public primarily as presenters or reporters on BBC news or current affairs programmes. Regular Columns BBC staff, BBC correspondents and freelances primarily known as BBC news presenters or reporters should not normally write regular columns for non-BBC websites or external publications which are not published by or for the BBC. In particular they should not write a regular column which deals with · News, current affairs, politics or current world affairs · Economics, business or finance · Matters of current political or public policy debate or industrial controversy at a local, national or international level · Media issues · Moral or ethical issues or religion. One-off articles related to topical or controversial issues In some very limited cases, with the prior approval of the relevant Head of Department, a one-off article for a non-BBC publication or website may be written on · News, current affairs or politics · Economics, business or finance · Matters of current political or public policy debate · Media issues · Moral or ethical issues or religion Any such one-off article must be in accordance with the BBC’s values and written in the context of BBC marketing for programmes or in support of the BBC or its interests. BBC copy approval will be required. No regular column on such issues is acceptable for a non-BBC publication or website. One off articles on other issues A one-off article about a non-controversial issue may be acceptable but only with the specific approval of the Head of Department. It is important that nothing which is written undermines either the writer’s or the BBC’s reputation for impartiality. Heads of Department will decide whether copy clearance is required. BBC Programme Complaints: Appeals to the Governors Page 6 Copy approval As outlined above, BBC staff, BBC correspondents on non-staff contracts and freelances primarily associated with the BBC will need to have copy cleared for all columns and any one-off articles related to topical or controversial issues. Heads of Department will decide whether copy clearance is required for one off articles on sport or non controversial issues. Articles must be submitted for BBC approval in good time before the publication deadline and Heads of Department must ensure that the relevant press office is informed. d) The Committee’s decision The Committee considered the complaint against the relevant editorial guidelines, taking into account all the material relating to the case. The Committee considered this complaint in two parts. First, did the column breach the off-air guidelines associated to articles for newspaper, magazines and websites? Second, did Andrew Marr’s use of the phrase “apologies all round” breach the editorial guidelines on impartiality? The Committee was satisfied that Andrew Marr’s regular column for The Daily Telegraph did not normally deal with news and current affairs. The Committee noted that its content usually covered politically uncontroversial subjects such as the arts, television and daily life. However, the Committee acknowledged that on this occasion the column had strayed into discussing a current news issue. In doing so, the Committee agreed that Andrew Marr had followed the procedure of obtaining copy approval suitable for a one-off article. However, it acknowledged that there was some ambiguity in the present guidelines regarding the issue of regular columns making a one-off comment on a current controversial issue. The Committee agreed that this needed to be clarified and that they would draw this issue to BBC management’s attention. With regard to Andrew Marr’s use of language, the Committee felt that he was even-handed. He did not advocate any particular position on an issue of current public controversy or debate, nor did he exhort a change in high-profile public policy. It noted that the phrasing could have been clearer, so that Andrew Marr’s words could not be misinterpreted. Nevertheless, his suggestion of “apologies all round” did not imply bias towards one side or the other.

  • 187 the War of National Liberation Army in the Karadak of Kumanovo
    ISSN2039Ͳ2117MediterraneanJournalofSocialSciencesVol.3(8)April2012 The War of National Liberation Army in the Karadak of Kumanovo in 2001 ( Republic of Macedonia) According to the British Press Fati Iseni, Ph.D Candidate Mayor of Municipality of Studenichani, R. of Macedonia [email protected] Abstract: The war of 2001 in Macedonia drew the attention of all governments and diplomacies of the superpowers of the world and also raised curiosity of many political and military analysts and researchers who wrote about Modern and Contemporary Balkan history. But it seems that the journalists from the powerful countries of the world in which global politics are created, show interest to follow the tragic events in Macedonia during 2001, war between Macedonian Army and Police forces against National Liberation Army - NLA (of Albanians). U.S. and UK in particular and the European Union were generally engaged in Macedonia politically and military throughout the fighting. Also British journalists and media were seriously interested from both printed and electronic ones who did not delay and arrived at the scene immediately after this "Oasis of Peace" was blurred. Reports and journalistic writings in the UK undoubtedly play an important role to inform both the public and the state leadership that they will build a political concept on events that took place in this part of Europe, therefore we know that in democracies of these countries the "public opinion" plays an important role. These materials are collected from important daily newspapers such as : The Times; The Independent; The Guardian; The Daily Telegraph; The Finacial Times; The Mirror; The Evening Standard etc.

  • Human Security and Human Rights During the Coronavirus Pandemic
    Data di pubblicazione: 22 settembre 2020 DR. LULJETA KODRA* HUMAN SECURITY AND HUMAN RIGHTS DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC 1. Entry Human security is closely linked to human rights. The concept of human security has been developed as a result of the demands of time and social developments, in order for the individual to feel as safe as possible while facing the dangers and threats to his life and future. Safety does not exist where people do not have enough food, clean water, or medical conditions needed to survive. Lack of hope can destroy a society from within.1 The UN, with the United Nations Development Program (1994), aimed to change the concept of security, not simply interpreting it as territorial, national, or global security, but by focusing on human security, including seven components: economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community, political security. A year later, * Mediterranean University of Albania Email: [email protected] 1Barack Obama, Remarks at the Acceptance of the Noble Peace Prize, 10 December 2009, Oslo, Norway, www.whitehouse.gov/.../remarks-president-acceptance Euro-Balkan Law and Economics Review- n. 2/2020 ISSN: 2612-6583 pp. 85-100 Human security and human rights during the Coronavirus pandemic in 1995, the UN further expanded the concept of human security, with the report of the Global Governance Commission, "Our Global Neighborhood"2, which included security from threats such as hunger, disease and repression, as well as from emergency situations. Today, human security is threatened by terrorism, drugs, infectious diseases, clandestine immigration, and so on. "Any event or process that leads to large-scale death, or reduction of life chances and undermines states is a threat to international security."3 The coronavirus pandemic jeopardized the stability and security of many states.

  • Homines Sacri in European Refugee Crisis
    HOMINES SACRI IN EUROPEAN REFUGEE CRISIS By Štefan Korbeľ Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Word count: 12,792 CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2016 Declaration I hereby declare that no parts of this thesis have been accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. This thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgement is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Štefan Korbeľ Budapest, Hungary, 3 June 2016 CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract The thesis employs Agamben’s theoretical concept of homo sacer as a person of the ancient Roman law which can be killed but cannot be sacrificed. It argues that the refugees are the most exposed homines sacri in the ongoing European refugee crisis, which started escalating roughly in the spring of 2015. First, it demonstrates how the European policies and attitudes towards the refugees perpetuate their status of homines sacri. Second, it argues that the incapacity to satisfactorily manage the refugee crisis across Europe contributes to rise of far-right politics, and in line with Agamben’s argument, essentially uncovers the potentiality of the European citizens to also become homines sacri vis-à-vis the sovereign. Keywords: homo sacer, refugee, migrant, sovereignty, Agamben CEU eTD Collection iii To My Parents CEU eTD Collection iv Table of Contents Declaration ...................................................................................................................................................
