At the Voice of the Listener and Viewer autumn conference, the second session chaired by former BBC World Tonight presenter Ritula Shah, dealt with enhancing impartiality in news. Professor Stephen Cushion, Director of Research and Impact at the Cardiff School of Journalism, Media and Culture, presented new research on impartiality standards in news, followed by a discussion on the implications of the rise of opinion-led TV and radio for audiences.


The panellists, apart from Professor Cushion, included Professor Stewart Purvis CBE, former Editor-in-Chief and Chief Executive of ITN, and Richard Ayre, former Controller of Editorial Policy and Deputy Chief Executive of BBC News. They discussed the recent crisis, political appointments to public bodies, the role of Ofcom and its interpretation of impartiality rules, and the allocation of air time to political parties.


There were also questions on global news in broadcasting, fact-checking, editorial guidelines, whether the Reith lecture should have been edited and governance.
