Editorial Policy
Statement of BVC’s Editorial Policy for Bowburn Interchange
1. All editions of Bowburn Interchange will carry a disclaimer, pointing
out that views published in the newsletter do not necessarily represent
the views of Bowburn Village Celebration and that no responsibility can
be accepted for any damage that may arise from the publication of
erroneous information.
2. It is BVC's editorial policy to try to help Bowburn develop
positively and to look forward to positive outcomes for the village.
3. We believe that the sharing of news and information amongst all
villagers contributes to the positive development of the village.
4. The newsletter is strictly non-political and aims to be as balanced,
factual and informative as possible.
5. We will not normally publish individuals’ controversial views but
stick to the facts as we believe them to be. Controversial viewpoints
which can be divisive will therefore normally be avoided.
6. Avoidance of controversial viewpoints should not, however, mean
censorship, when important issues for the village are involved. If
controversy cannot be avoided, then BVC's aim is to achieve balance by
the presentation of different viewpoints.
7. Errors published in Bowburn Interchange will be corrected in a
subsequent edition wherever possible, with apologies for any such errors
or misrepresentations.
8. BVC’s Committee reserves the right to choose which articles to
include in its publications and to edit all articles in line with the
above policy statements or for reasons of space.
This policy was agreed by BVC’s AGM on 2nd August 2005
