East Midlands Today, ´óÏó´«Ã½ One (East Midlands), 1 February 2023

Complaint

The programme’s coverage of the teachers’ strike included a report in which several teachers from the region gave accounts of their reasons for striking.  A viewer complained this led to overall bias towards the teachers’ cause.  The ECU considered the complaint in the light of the ´óÏó´«Ã½â€™s editorial standards of impartiality.


Outcome

The ECU considered the programme’s reflection of views from the Education Secretary and critical members of the public was enough to provide overall balance.
Not upheld
