Could you also please provide figures for the amount the BBC spent on BBC Staff time/wages to cover up attendees of the BBC Climate Panel 26 January 2006?

However, before doing so, I have set out some background to the Tribunal case you refer to. In July 2007, the BBC received a request for information it held relating to a seminar held at Television Centre in 2006. The seminar was one in a series which looked at a range of global topics in order to assist the BBC’s journalism. The title of the seminar was “Climate Change, the Challenge to Broadcasting” and was attended by BBC editors, journalists and managers as well as a number of invited guests from business, science and academia. In this regard, the guests were not “a panel.” Seminars such as this do not set BBC editorial policy on how it covers climate science. The setting of editorial policy is a formal process involving BBC Boards and the BBC Trust; it does not take place at seminars such as this one. Instead, the seminars can help inform the BBC’s journalism through debate and access to expertise. The BBC refused to disclose some of the requested material it held about the seminar, including the agenda and the names of all of those who attended the seminar. This was on the basis that the BBC is only bound by the FOIA in respect of information held for purposes “other than those of journalism, art or literature” (Schedule 1, Part VI), commonly referred to as the designation, and at the time of the request the information held about the seminar was held for the BBC’s journalistic purposes. In addition, the seminar had been held under the Chatham House Rule, which enables free and frank discussion and prohibits the publication of lists of attendees. The individual requesting the material appealed, to the ICO who agreed with the BBC decision. The requester then asked for a hearing before the Information Tribunal. In October 2012, a hearing took place and the Information Tribunal unanimously upheld the BBC’s decision that it was right not to disclose the requested material. A few days after this decision in October 2012, the individual put in a new request for the same material. The requested was again refused by the BBC, upheld by the ICO and again the individual appealed. A hearing was listed at the individual’s request. Before the hearing took place, on 24 October 2013, the BBC re-reviewed its use of the information requested, and decided to provide the individual with all of the information subject to some redactions which were carried out pursuant to s.40 (personal data). The BBC explained that it was providing the material because, whilst it maintained its position that the information was held for the purpose of journalism at the time of the request, were the BBC to receive a request for the material now, it would disclose the material. The BBC explained that the redacted material included personal email addresses and personal information in the biographies of attendees. The individual withdrew his appeal and the hearing was vacated. The BBC also published the material within the frameworks of its Publication Scheme under the following links: 3 1) http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/foi/classes/disclosure_logs/rfi20121417_climate_change_se minar_2006_1.pdf; 2) http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/foi/classes/disclosure_logs/rfi20121417_climate_change_se minar_2006_2.pdf. As for your specific questions: 1. Could you please provide figures for the amount the BBC spent on lawyers to cover up attendees of the BBC Climate Panel 26 January 2006? We cannot accept the characterisation of the money paid in legal fees in this case as being for the purpose of “covering up the attendees of the Climate Change panel”. As explained above the case was successfully defended to protect the BBC’s journalistic space and its use of the Chatham House Rule. You should note these fees were in relation to the first Information Tribunal case. No external fees were incurred in relation to the second request. In total, £19,485 (including VAT at 20%) was spent on external legal fees. 2. Could you also please provide figures for the amount the BBC spent on BBC Staff time/wages to cover up attendees of the BBC Climate Panel 26 January 2006? Again please note we do not accept the characterisation of your question. However we can provide the following information in relation to staff costs/time. The majority of Freedom of Information work is carried out in-house within the BBC. Lawyers and other staff within the Information Policy and Compliance team, which deals with many aspects of FOI, do not charge out for their work and therefore no records of the time that is spent on each case are kept. Staff time outside of the legal division is similarly not logged as all FOI work is undertaken on top of the normal workload of any staff involved. However, I can inform you that the BBC Litigation department does log time against cases and in ‘FOI Newbury V Information Commissioner’ this was logged at 120 hours. This covered time by a number of BBC lawyers at the different stages of Mr Newbery’s Appeal including preparing submissions and attending the hearing. 3. Could you also please confirm whether the following list of attendees of the BBC Climate Panel 26 January 2006 was available on the internet throughout the legal battle to cover it up? On 13 November 2012, a member of the public published a list of attendees for the seminar which took place on 26 January 2006. The individual said he found a copy of the document using an internet archive. It became apparent that the list had been posted on a website in 2007 without the permission of the BBC but had been taken down shortly afterwards. The list was therefore not available on that website during the appeal which was heard by the 4 Information Tribunal and which concluded on 8 November 2012 when the unanimous decision was handed down that the BBC was correct not to disclose the copy of the list that it held. As far as the BBC was aware, the list of attendees was not in the public domain at the time of the hearing. The fact a member of the public found the copy through the internet archive does not impact on the decision of the Tribunal nor the reason the BBC defended its decision not to disclose the material sought under the FOI Act. I hope that this information satisfies your request.

It begins with a comprehensive review of the most recent literature on incidental news exposure, personalisation, echo chambers and filter bubbles; combining this with analyses of key reports by industry and governmental sources. It proposes a new taxonomy of news consumption behaviours, and a new visual taxonomy of news using the RGB (red, green, blue) colour spectrum. Senior editors at ITV News, Channel 4 News, 5 News and Sky News were interviewed to provide insights into current digital strategies.

Endnotes 17 2 “Monogamy is actually more obtainable than news objectivity”1 Digital disruption is changing everything about the news except its professional core. Reporters use the same norms and values now as 100 years ago: objectivity, fairness and balance for the institutional media in the USA, accuracy and impartiality for the BBC. How did these principles emerge? What are their limitations? Do they still help reporters deliver “the best obtainable version of the truth” in a world of growing disinformation? 2 Introduction The BBC’s commitment to impartiality caused an uproar in 2009 when Nick Griffin, widely reviled as leader of the far right British National Party, was invited to appear on its flagship political debate show, Question Time. Politicians and faith leaders weighed in against the BBC, newspapers accused it of a publicity stunt, and the Secretary of State for Wales tried unsuccessfully to get the show pulled. The BBC stood firm. Its director general and editor in chief, Mark Thompson, said the BBC wasn’t in the business of censoring unpalatable views.

  • New News, Future News the Challenges for Television News After Digital Switch-Over
    New News, Future News The challenges for television news after Digital Switch-over An Ofcom discussion document Publication date: 26 June 2007 Foreword The prospects for television news in a fully digital era are a central element in any consideration of the future of public service broadcasting (PSB). News is regarded by viewers as the most important of all the PSB genres, and television remains by far the most used source of news for UK citizens. The role of news and information as part of the democratic process is long established, and its status is specifically underpinned in the Communications Act 2003. This report, New News, Future News, is one of a series of Ofcom studies focussing on individual topics identified in the PSB Review of 2004/05, and further discussed in the Digital PSB report of July 2006. The others are on the provision of children’s programmes and on the prospects for a Public Service Publisher. All three studies are linked to areas of particular PSB concern for the future, and set out a framework for policy consideration ahead of the next full PSB review. Other Ofcom work of relevance includes the review of Channel 4’s funding. It has not been the role of this report to come up with solutions, and no policy recommendations are put forward. Instead, the report examines the environment in which television news currently operates, and assesses how that may change in future (after digital switch-over and, in 2014, the expiry of current Channel 3 and Channel 5 licences) . It identifies particular issues that will need to be addressed and suggests some specific questions that may need to be answered.

  • Editorial Processes – How Bbc News Works
    EDITORIAL PROCESSES – HOW BBC NEWS WORKS This document sets out the way that editorial decisions are taken in BBC News. At one level, the process is straightforward; the final decision about what to broadcast is taken by the editor of each area of output – whether it be a programme, a strand on a continuous news network or an online section. As the Neil Review of BBC Journalism reaffirmed in 2004, the editors are the “gatekeepers”. But BBC editors take the decisions they do in the context of the core BBC values that should drive all our journalism – truth and accuracy; serving the public interest; impartiality and diversity of opinion; independence; and accountability. They operate within an overarching framework of direction, guidance, policy and strategy which is set by senior management and approved and monitored by the BBC Trust (and formerly the Governors). Decision-making is a process of delegated editorial responsibility, with considerable checks and balances. Helen Boaden Director, BBC News (22nd January, 2007) The scale of BBC News The sheer scale of BBC News has a decisive impact on the way we are organized. It is like a big newspaper conglomerate with numerous titles – but publishing in different formats (radio, television and online) and catering for a range of different audiences. As of September 2006, BBC News employed just under 3,500 journalists producing 619 hours of news and weather per week on domestic radio and television, and 400 new stories a day on the website, with thousands of updates. BBC News also produces programming for BBC World and BBC World Service Radio which is commissioned by the Global Division.
