CoP Show: Tackling controversial subjects 31 Jan 2013

Thu, 31 Jan 13

Executive producer of Our War Colin Barr, Drugs Live: The Ecstasy¹ Trial producer Dan Murdoch and BBC broadcast lawyer Clare Hoban join Simon Ford² to talk about how to put together a television programme that tackles controversial subjects. They discuss the differences between simply being controversial and the editorial and legal responsibilities of programme makers³ covering a controversial subject. They share their insights on working with outside bodies like the MOD and scientific research councils, working with contributors, and the difficulties that social media and unedited online footage may represent.
