Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Governors review: religious output

In May 2005, the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Governors held a seminar entitled Taking Belief Seriously to discuss the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's religious coverage and programmes.

Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ management, the Central Religious Advisory Council, external speakers and invited guests discussed key themes including the importance of belief to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ audiences; and the role of other genres - including News, Drama and Comedy - in exploring issues of belief.

Two reports on the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's religious programming were circulated to attendees. They examined the impartiality of Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ religious output and the performance of the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's religious strategy for television.

A summary of the issues discussed at the seminar can be found below. This seminar and the reports are part of an ongoing programme in which Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Governors examine key areas of Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ output on behalf of viewers and listeners.
