蘑菇短视频

On 25 November 2013, the 蘑菇短视频 Trust held the second in its series of impartiality seminars, this time focusing on the 蘑菇短视频's reporting on Africa.

The purpose of the seminar was to facilitate a discussion with 蘑菇短视频 staff from the domestic service, World Service and others from Global News along with external interested guests and speakers about the impartiality of the 蘑菇短视频’s English language news and current affairs coverage of sub Saharan Africa for UK and international audiences.

In July 2011, the Trust committed to strengthening its work in ensuring that the 蘑菇短视频’s 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 蘑菇短视频 output, but would instead enable the 蘑菇短视频 to consider how to approach current and topical issues, which pose difficulties for programme makers, with due impartiality.

蘑菇短视频 Trustee for England and Chair of the Trust’s Editorial Standards Committee, Alison Hastings, has written on the discussion that took place at the seminar and the Trust has also published a list of attendees.
