Ms Dee Forbes:

We have a steering group in place. We call it a compliance group. If there is a programme that is deemed risky or deemed controversial, we will take it to this group, which is made up of internal people, who are very experienced journalists. Those people will work with the producer on that programme to discuss, debate, etc. and to bring the programme to place where it will be okay to air.

The defamation laws are restrictive, of course, but we also have to be mindful of what is said. However, I do not think it inhibits us in doing our job. The journalists and producers are very well-versed in this. I cannot think of one instance of this since I have been there. Typically, we have an elevation and if there is a concern, I am the last port of call.
