CIPD Guernsey Channel Islands Discrimination Law Update SlidesRichard Sheldon
The Ghosts of Past, Present and Future
As 2016 is fast drawing to a close we thought now would be an ideal time to reflect on what has been a busy past couple of years in the Channel Islands in relation to equal opportunities and discrimination law with our policy advisor Richard Sheldon.
In a short space of time, the landscape around equalities legislation has radically changed and the drive to bring us closer to the position in the UK over the next few years seems inevitable.
Whilst the laws may differ between Guernsey and Jersey, the approach of each island inevitably influences the other on matters of policy, especially with so many businesses now operating on a pan-island basis, so the session will cover developments across both including:
A look at the past discrimination cases across both islands including the first discrimination decision in Jersey;
A look at the present policy thinking following introduction of new maternity rights in Guernsey and age discrimination in Jersey this year; and
A look to the future of discrimination laws across both islands with disability discrimination in both islands and the how employers will tackle retirement in Jersey come 2018.

The documentary The Life and Death of a Serial Killer by Nick Broomfield contains some instances of bias and lack of impartiality. It features one case of secret filming of Aileen Wuornos during her final interview. The filmmaker aimed to capture a true account of events and did not heavily edit interviews, even if perspectives became exaggerated. Considerations were made regarding prison rules and not filming those under 18 or invading privacy. However, impartiality was generally maintained without imposing personal views on traditions.
Media companies must adhere to both legal and ethical constraints when producing content. Legally, they must comply with laws around copyright, discrimination, obscenity, data protection and libel. Ethically, they should avoid offending audiences, ensure privacy and consent, and represent groups respectfully. The News of the World phone hacking scandal showed how failing to follow these led to legal issues. Regulations aim to maintain viewer trust by ensuring truth and transparency around productions.

The BBC is trying to create a "Reithian organization for the digital age" through its BBC Sounds platform, which hosts both podcasts and radio programs. However, balancing podcasts' independence with the BBC's public service mission creates new regulatory and competitive tensions. The document examines debates around how BBC Sounds can deliver public purposes like informing, educating, and entertaining audiences through personalized recommendations rather than scheduled programming.
‘Just because you play a guitar and are from Nashville doesn’t mean you are a country singer’ The case for Podcast Studies.
In 2017 the term “podcasting” became a teenager. Like any teenager it is now increasingly rebelling against its parents, experimenting with new practices, and behaving in a way that the older media might find in-appropriate. Podcasting has evolved from a space where remediated radio programmes dominated, into a ‘Second Age of Podcasting’ of podcasting (Bonini, 2015). An age where the podcast space has become professionalised, commercialised, and increasingly self-aware. This paper frames a conversation on the place of podcasts in the media environment, through theoretical framing and a small online survey of podcasters.
By reflecting on podcastness we can perhaps reach new understandings and concepts of what podcasting and the key relationship between radio and podcasting. The paper will argue that whilst radio exists in the podcast space, there is an increasing sense that podcasters are defining their own practices and their own identities as producers of work that is wholly independent of radio. It is this sense of difference, that I suggest means there are good grounds to argue for use of podcast studies as a new frame of reference.

Podcasting involves online audio content that can be consumed on-demand, often on portable devices using the MP3 format. Content is distributed on an ongoing basis to subscribers via RSS feeds. Podcasting provides listeners flexibility in when to listen and allows them to escape advertising unlike traditional radio. While radio is heard live and focused on mass audiences, podcasting is asynchronous, focused on niches, and free from regulation. Many people listen to podcasts at home or while commuting, with comedy and music being popular genres.
The document provides guidance for conducting vox-pop interviews, which involve gathering unscripted opinions from members of the public on a given topic or question. It advises choosing an open question that is easy to understand, finding an appropriate public location to conduct interviews, and ensuring all interviewees are asked the exact same question in a clear and concise manner.

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
“f***” 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”. (Bulletin 189)

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”

They key thing is being aware that rules exist and what they mean for the kind of radio you want to make. When you drive a car you accept that there are things like speed limits, so trying to plead ignorance of their existence when caught is never going to work. In fact, it can make things a whole lot worse. This is serious. Real world radio. Being a student at a community station does give you special privilege to say what you want and make mistakes.
A few simple steps. Always think. Make it part of show prep. Is this legal? will it offend? If in doubt etcKnow who listens. Will they find it offensive? Is there context? But then anyone can listen and anyone can complain - even if they are not the audience. (But ofcom consider that) context is all important
Basic info - really important as it will cost you moneyIn Libel, truth is key - or at least what you can prove - keep notes, do proper researchThe bloke in the pub is not a real source of provable fact
Defamation IS Libel.Slander is a different offence but is still defamation
Words that TEND to disparage. The intent doesn’t have to be there. Read between the lines. Can also be in tone, implication or images. "Everyone who knows me would know it is me" don't try to be clever. If someone has hurt feelings, they have reasonable cause for action
Can people identify the complainant? even without a name? You don’t need to name someone for them to be identified or feel that they have been.If the libel was unintended that doesn’t really offer a defence but it might be a factor in mitigation, if you say sorryAllegedly is NOT a defenceRepeating libels or contempts is the same as the first offence
There are limits to this but the key is honesty and the presence of facts
GIGGS John hemming used parliamentary privelege. we don’t have that. even when he did name there are issues. He has legal protection but did we when talked about what he had said. Strict legal reading would say we could've been sued for libel and/or prosecuted for breach of an orderThe defence here is QUALIFIED PRIVILEGE
All about good planning and training
Definitionsall about being fair - forget US TV news and drama. We cannot have an opinion on guilt.
Social media is a problem. The baby p case saw people naming her on Facebook. But the order was in place to prevent the jury in a 2nd trial knowing their suspect had been found guilty in this case. The order also prevented the media from explaining the nature of the order, even though they knew Others orders may also be issued. Such as the Northumbria police memo to media during raoul moat. Telling the media he had made threats if he heard things he didn't like. There was no real legal weight to the order and we weren't allowed to mention there was an orde
Huntley case. Also Mark Kaye at Rock FM. Suspended, arrested and taken to courtIpswich murders warningApril jones also present problem
Also how you can break the law - dont be silly. Stick to official sources
protecting audiences - woman on a bridge, M60 closed. Manchester in gridlock. Callers joked that stevepenk should play jump by van halen - which he did -bad idea. He did not link the track to the event, playing it cold out of a feature. He said listeners would know and feel empathy but not be offended, ofcom did not agree.
Rage against the machine on 5live. Considered resolved by ofcom, they had briefed the guests and then said sorry. 36 people complained but 500 complained the host had told audience to buy Joe's single insteadBroadcasters should note, for example, that when appropriate before live interviews and performances, it is important for them properly to brief interviewees about the need to avoid offensive language, they must be vigilant during the broadcast itself for any potential breaches of the Code and where necessary take timely action during the broadcast to prevent them. In addition, broadcasters should consider carefully whether it would be appropriate to pre-record material or interviews where there is a material risk of breaching the Code if the output were broadcast
