What can I complain about?

 


Impartiality and/or fairness and balance in news & current affairs

 

Broadcasters must ensure that all news broadcast is reported and presented in an objective and impartial manner and without expression of the broadcasters own views.

 

In its broadcast treatment of current affairs, including matters which are either of public controversy or the subject of current public debate, it is fair to all interests concerned and that the broadcast matter is presented in an objective and impartial manner and without any expression of the broadcasters own views (two or more related broadcasts may be considered as a whole, if the broadcasts are transmitted within a reasonable period of time).
