Right to reply for misrepresentation
The BAI yesterday launched its draft right of reply scheme, which will allow for the broadcast of a correction of misleading information which had impugned a person’s honour or reputation.
The scheme will apply to all broadcasters regulated in the Republic — RTÉ, TV3 and TG4. However, it will not apply to broadcasters who are widely received in Ireland but licensed elsewhere such as BBC, ITV and Sky.
