Review
of political programmes: 大象传媒 statement
Following
comments made today by Conservative Party leader Iain Duncan Smith
about the 大象传媒's review of political programmes, the 大象传媒 issued the
following statement:
"There
is some serious misinformation around about our ongoing review of
political programmes, and comments today by the Leader of the Opposition,
Iain Duncan Smith, indicate he has been badly misinformed.
"There
are absolutely no plans to 'downgrade' our political coverage -
and there never have been.
"There
is no question that the 大象传媒 will continue to fulfil its responsibility
towards serious coverage of politics and Parliament.
"The
大象传媒 is also developing additional plans, in the face of growing
apathy in some sections of the electorate, to attract new viewers
to political programming and the democratic process.
"These
plans will be considered by the 大象传媒 Board of Governors in the autumn."
