Factual Programming

Assignment 1 – Issues in Factual Programming

You must produce a media production textbook chapter on the issues facing producers of factual programming and the impact this has on their work:
You must:

• research the issues facing the producers of factual programming
• accuracy; 

Accuracy is when you research properly as care must be taken over the release of certain contents containing information which may be revealed in the future to be inaccurate, such as medical information or advice, which, if followed, may put people's health at risk.  Where appropriate, the use of context and content information (including, for example, archive branding and labeling) should be considered.

• balance; 

Balance:  is finding the equality of information in certain subjects such as political content in the mass media.
Also balance can be biased in describing a perceived issue as being more balanced between opposing viewpoints than the evidence actually supports. Journalists may present evidence and arguments out of proportion to the actual evidence for each side, or may even actually suppress information

• impartiality; 

Impartiality is having more of a neutral standing on subjects and not being biased to one side or the other this applies to all output and services such as - television, radio, online.

• objectivity; 

Objectivity is getting your main point across and being open minded about the point being made about the subject at hand
It refers to the prevailing ideology of news gathering and reporting that emphasizes eyewitness accounts of events, corroboration of facts with multiple sources and balance of viewpoints.

• subjectivity; 

Subjectivity is when you are keeping your personal views/feelings out of the issues as this can lead to more of an one sided view on the matter at hand and become more biased.

• opinion; 

Opinion:  Is giving  your view on the subjective belief, or interpretation of facts. An opinion may be supported by an argument, although people may oppose certain Opinions from the same set of facts.

• bias; 

Bias is when an argument is completely one sided and ignores the evidence shown by the other party. Practical limitations to media neutrality include the inability of all available stories and facts; to report everything selectivity is inevitable. Certain influences on censorship in the media cause many biased views

• representation; 

Representation: Is stereotyping a person/group such as
People, places, objects, events, cultural identities
in a certain way this can be characteristics into certain groups:

• access

• privacy; 

Privacy - Need permission for someone to be in a programmer. You have to respect their privacy when they say they don't want to be seen in the programme but they want to talk about it during the programme as they feel what the programme is all about, is a crucial part of their life.

privacy must be obtained when


Contract with viewer - Stick to the contract written. You have to deliver what is in the contract as that is your deal with the viewers with what exactly they are going to be seeing in the programme.
