Section_13_Use_of_BBC_Content_After_Publication_or_Broadcast_-_Guidelines.txt
General 13.4.1 When re-using or jogos de piano de tocarreversioning content, the current Editorial Guidelines must be taken into account. Content within the archives would have been made to the BBC editorial standards of the day and, with the passage of time, those standards may have changed. This requirement applies irrespective of the proposed platform and the age of the material – including proposals involving artificial intelligence, to use archive BBC content. 13.4.2 Where content is re-used, reversioned or otherwise made available, findings of breaches of editorial standards by the BBC's Executive Complaints Unit, the BBC Trust or other predecessors, and of code breaches recorded by Ofcom or previous regulators must be taken into account. Stop: Mandatory Referral: Any proposal to use archive content that has previously been found in breach must be referred to Editorial Policy who will consider whether: there has been a change in standards since the original finding the content could be released if it were edited and/or additional information were given. if ("interactive" === "interactive") { const container = document.getElementById("componentBreakoutContainerbreakoutboxmandatoryreferral300419123231"); window.addEventListener('scroll', () =>{ const buffer = 240; const rect = container.getBoundingClientRect(); const windowHeight = window.innerHeight; // Defines if an element is not above or below the viewport and is within a buffer range above and below the middle of the viewport const isVisible = (rect.top >= 0) && (rect.bottom = windowHeight / 2 - buffer) && (rect.top + rect.height / 2 { container.classList.add('interactive-highlight-red'); if ("red" === "custom") document.getElementById("componentBreakoutContainerbreakoutboxmandatoryreferral300419123231").style.boxShadow = "inset 0 0 0 3px " }); } 13.4.3 Editorial content originally broadcast or published in the UK that is re-used internationally may not be appropriate for re-use in all territories around the world out of duty of care to international contributors or BBC staff. Rights issues should also be considered. 13.4.4 Where appropriate it should be made clear to audiences when content is not contemporaneous. Labels, first transmission dates, contextual information or other signalling may be required to make clear when content is archive in order to avoid misleading audiences. 13.4.5 When content is re-used or reversioned, or otherwise made available for BBC or third-party use, its original context should be taken into account and it should not normally be misrepresented. There may be editorially justified exceptions, such as where content is used for a comedic/satirical purpose. However, fairness and harm and offence considerations apply. Legal copyright, data protection issues and the legal right to privacy should also be considered. 13.4.6 While respecting that archive content is a record of history, consideration must be given to whether it is appropriate to use it unedited or whether this would breach the Editorial Guidelines or the law. It may be appropriate to indicate when archive content has been edited or removed, in order to make audiences aware that a record has been changed. 13.4.7 Access or location agreements should be reviewed before content is made available as there may be special conditions for re-use. 13.4.8 With large-scale release of collections of archive content it may be acceptable to adopt a light touch method of compliance, where overall risks of breach of standards are mitigated by identifying parts of the collection which must be excluded or complied in full. When it is published or broadcast there should be a route for the public to get in touch and for a rapid response to take place if necessary. Stop: Mandatory Referral: Any proposal to use a light touch method of compliance for the large-scale release of content must be referred to Editorial Policy who will take into account the nature of the content and whether the proposed compliance arrangements are appropriate for that content. if ("interactive" === "interactive") { const container = document.getElementById("componentBreakoutContainerbreakoutboxmandatoryreferral300419123352"); window.addEventListener('scroll', () =>{ const buffer = 240; const rect = container.getBoundingClientRect(); const windowHeight = window.innerHeight; // Defines if an element is not above or below the viewport and is within a buffer range above and below the middle of the viewport const isVisible = (rect.top >= 0) && (rect.bottom = windowHeight / 2 - buffer) && (rect.top + rect.height / 2 { container.classList.add('interactive-highlight-red'); if ("red" === "custom") document.getElementById("componentBreakoutContainerbreakoutboxmandatoryreferral300419123352").style.boxShadow = "inset 0 0 0 3px " }); } 13.4.9 There is a presumption that material published online is part of a permanently, publicly accessible archive, unless it has only been made available temporarily. The online archive must be preserved in as complete a state as possible. (See 13.4.28)
