Stewart Purvis, formerly of ITN, Channel 4 News and Ofcom, is scathing about Ofcom's latest guidance on " News", "Current Affairs" and "Elections".
“They are going to allow senior party officials to present election programmes. Not only that, to be absolutely clear, senior party officials can interview each other from the same party on programmes during a general election, which I think will come as a surprise to most people that that could be possible during a general election campaign.”
“If you're connected with a party but not a candidate, yes, you can present programmes, you can interview your friends from the from the party, you can do pretty much anything you want, within Ofcom’s new interpretation of the rules.”
Much more like that in Roger Bolton’s Beeb Watch
