Editorial Guidelines in Full

Editorial Integrity & Independence

Undue prominence & contributors

We must avoid undue prominence when contributors appear on chat shows and other programmes where they are promoting a product, for example, a film, album or book. Although proper editorial discussion is perfectly acceptable the related product should not normally be used as a prop. Any visual references particularly close ups of an album cover or pages of a book should be clearly editorially justified.
