Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport
General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Ms Áine Ní Chaoindealbháin:
I think anybody in receipt of funding has to follow a code of ethics and guidelines to make sure that they are compliant and that it is impartial, fair and balanced. We all see it. We see what is out in the market. We have dabbled - that is probably the best way to describe it - in the world of podcasting but we apply the same stringent rules from an editorial perspective to podcasting that we apply to something that is broadcast on news or current affairs.
