Editorial Guidelines in Full

Politics & Public Policy

Political contributors

We must take care when inviting politicians to contribute to our output on the basis of their expertise outside their political field, not to give them such prominence as to give them undue advantage over their opponents. This applies all the time, and not only during election campaigns. If in doubt about whether it is appropriate to invite someone with an overt party political label to be a contributor or presenter to non-political output consult Chief Adviser Politics.
