Meanings of due impartiality in English

Our great public service broadcaster's seriousness and due impartiality is in question.

The channel will have to abide by Ofcom broadcasting rules on due impartiality.

The challenge both projects face is the UK's strict broadcast rules on due impartiality, enforced by the media regulator.

A spokesperson for the regulator said: All broadcast licensees must observe Ofcom's strict rules, including due accuracy and due impartiality.

A spokesman for the broadcaster said it was bound by rules to treat all political parties with " due impartiality".

But it said all news must be presented with " due impartiality … in particular, when reporting on matters of major political controversy".

The complainant did not identify and specific instance in which due impartiality had not been preserved or the due weight requirements had not been observed.

Since 2005, Ofcom has ruled 14 times that RT breached the broadcasting code in Britain, including on issues such as due impartiality and graphic images.
