civil offence for which you, Spark and the University could be sued. • The best defence against Libel is the truth. © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 6
7.

8.
#1: Libel • Myths:
– If I don’t name them, that’s OK – If I say “allegedly” first – It’s Ok to read stuff out of the paper or from Twitter because they said it first © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 8

Case Study Time… •
We ALL knew it was Giggs! • But only an MP could name him and not get sued… © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 9
10.
Lessons / Tips •
Take “reasonable” precautions. • Plan content / brief guests / callers • Moderate online spaces • “Innocent Dissemination” can be a “Get out of jail free” card but ONLY if you can prove you did all you could to prevent the libel in a LIVE programme* – *This doesn’t apply to pre-recorded content, sorry. Or the Internet. © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 10
11.
Contempt of Court •
This is where you say things or show things that may affect the course of a current or pending criminal trial. © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 11
12.
#2 Contempt • Material
which causes a “substantial risk of serious prejudice” in a legal case regardless of your intent • Will a jury hear this information? • Ignore, what you may hear or see online or a bloke in the pub tells you © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 12

Prompting one listener
to text… • "You are at serious risk of prejudicing a trial. He [Huntley] could walk free because of what u are doing. Don't u know the first thing about contempt of court?” • "If you still have your jobs by the end of today, you can buy me a pint for saving your career! I hope no one tells the Radio Authority. I won't, but sum1 will." © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 15
16.
Contempt could also
be… • Recording in the courtroom… or taking a photo • Breaking a court order – Naming juveniles, victims or revealing information when ordered not to – Breaking an injunction • Interviewing witnesses or jurors © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 16
17.
Tips • Avoid rewriting
news copy. – There is a difference between saying someone is accused or murder and someone who “killed” • Has a story moved on? Do scripts and online copy need updating? © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 17

#4 Regulation • OFCom
issue the FM licence • A condition is YOUR awareness of the Broadcasting Code • Short-link: http://bit.ly/b-code © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 21
22.
#4 Regulation • “Broadcasters
must take all reasonable steps to protect people under 18” (1:2) • Content must meet “generally accepted standards” © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 22

#4 Regulation • Might
children be listening? • Have your guests been fully briefed about language? Have tracks been screened and edited? • Religion and religious programmes should be dealt with carefully • We have “key commitments” – http://bit.ly/spark-kc © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 23
24.
Brick FM • Regarding
the material itself, Brick FM said that a “punany” was a “sandwich sold locally and is made of Italian bread with cheese and tomato which is heated up” and therefore did not accept the song “More Punany” had sexual connotations. Brick FM also maintained that the word “fuck” is “a commonly used word in Scotland, as a description, when something goes wrong or if they get angry or upset” rather than a sexual act giving the phrases “f---cars or f---crazy” as examples. It argued that it had “the right to use the commonly spoken word which is not considered offensively locally” and claimed that Ofcom was “unfamiliar with our *its+ local dialect”. Guidance: http://bit.ly/offensivelyrics © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 24
25.
Offensive Language • There
is NO watershed on the Radio • Warnings can help • OFCom note: “in live programming, it is difficult for broadcasters to prevent the use of potentially offensive language, on the occasions that this happens. However, in such circumstances, listeners would expect to see quick action from the broadcaster to prevent further incidents and an apology” © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 25
26.
Rage Against 5
Live © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 26
27.
Fairness / Bias
Sections 5, 6, 7 & 8 • Don’t deceive the audience • Truth / Accuracy / Fairness • Competition entries MUST be real and fair • Never say you’re live, when you’re not • The public have a right to privacy • Special rules apply to election time • There also special laws around racial hatred © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 27
28.
Police Commissioners • We
are now in an “Election Period” • Sections Five and Six of the Code apply to all Ofcom licensed services. However, there is no obligation on broadcasters to provide any election coverage, including coverage of the PCC Elections. Sections Five and Six are quite complex and can be challenging to interpret. • Guidelines: http://bit.ly/vote4cops © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 28
29.
Un-due prominence • Of
a viewpoint on potentially controversial topics • Of businesses / services (No free ads) © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 29
30.
A few simple
rules • Think First • Ask, if you don’t know • Take sensible precautions • Know your audience • Know the law / regulations / station rules • Brief guests © Spark Learn / R Berry 2012 30
