Big Brother ruling welcome - Foster
24 May 2007
Responding to today’s announcement by Ofcom that Channel 4 has been found guilty of ‘serious editorial misjudgment’ over the Big Brother racism row, Liberal Democrat Shadow Culture, Media and Sport Secretary, Don Foster MP said:
"The unprecedented public interest in this incident, combined with previous Big Brother breaches of the broadcasting code, meant Ofcom had little choice but to act.
"Allegations of racist abuse and bullying must never be ignored and I welcome the tough but proportionate sanctions now imposed by Ofcom.
"While Channel 4 has learned lessons and is taking appropriate steps to avoid a recurrence, other broadcasters must now ensure that their own procedures will prevent similar incidents in their programmes.
"With the right compliance systems in place, broadcasters can still remain at the cutting edge of innovative and challenging programming. Ofcom’s decision should not lead to just bland and safe programmes."
