成人论坛

The 成人论坛 Trust has today launched a 12 week consultation seeking views on the 成人论坛 Executive's proposed additional guidelines for the 成人论坛's reporting on the referendum on Scottish independence.

The referendum takes place in 2014, and these guidelines cover all reporting during the formal referendum period, from 30th May 2014 to polling day on the 18th September 2014.

Similar to previous referendum and election campaigns, the additional guidelines have been drafted to supplement the 成人论坛鈥檚 Editorial Guidelines. They are intended to offer a framework within which 成人论坛 journalists and content producers can deliver impartial and independent reporting, providing audiences with fair coverage and rigorous scrutiny of the policies and campaigns of all relevant parties and campaign groups.

The Trust is inviting views from campaigning bodies, political parties and relevant organisations to the referendum debate, as well as members of the public on the following three areas:聽

1. Are the proposed guidelines relevant and appropriate for this referendum? If not, explain why?

2. Do you feel there are any omissions from the guidelines?

3. Do you have any other comments on the proposed guidelines?

The Trust will consider responses to these questions when considering if they should approve the referendum guidelines in their final form.

The consultation and draft guidelines can be found on the Trust website.

The final guidelines along with consultation responses will be published in March 2014.
