Joint editorial initiatives
A joint editorial initiative is a partnership where the BBC and a partner or partners share editorial responsibility for an overall project. The BBC normally produces the programmes or website and the partner runs a related event or publishes related articles. If the partnership is with a magazine or newspaper we must not promote the publication on air and people must not be required to buy it to take part.
For joint editorial initiatives no money from a partner may go into our programme budgets.
Editorial Policy should be consulted about the suitability of partners for a joint editorial initiative.
