Jeremy Vine Broke Impartiality Rules About Ltns Says Bbc Bbc

The Radio 2 presenter, a well-known cyclist, has repeatedly tweeted about his support for LTNs – and publicly criticized people who opposed the introduction of the traffic calming scheme near his home in Chiswick. A local anti-LTN campaigner complained to the BBC, claiming Vine’s repeated tweets in support of the plan amounted to “a campaign of abuse” against a legitimate campaign group. They claimed Vine breached the company’s new impartiality rules by expressing a view on a controversial topic in a way unbecoming of a “journalist who shouldn’t be biased”. After an investigation, the BBC’s editorial complaints unit sided with the public and concluded that Vine had breached impartiality rules. He ruled that taking a public side in the debate about whether LTNs are good or bad is “the sort of matter to which considerations of due impartiality apply to the BBC”. Vine is influential in the cycling world, commuting to his jobs at the BBC and Channel 5 by bike and regularly posting footage of near misses with car drivers. Earlier this month, he told the Guardian that his support for safe cycling is not “political”. The broadcaster’s repeated support for Chiswick’s low-traffic neighborhoods led him to brand anti-LTN campaigners – who claimed a cycle lane would make it easier for robbers to stage getaways – as a “source of persistent malice towards cyclists in my area”. . He also praised the introduction of a controversial local cycle lane – which angered some motorists for taking up road space – for “improving safety, allowing children to cycle, reducing pollution, increasing footfall in shops, calming traffic”. The BBC’s director-general, Tim Davie, has placed a huge emphasis on impartiality, although what matters are considered controversial can be difficult for staff to sort out. Racism, homophobia and climate skepticism are considered settled issues – but if a journalist takes a public stance on issues that anger certain media or political parties then it can lead to internal investigations. Two other BBC employees told the Guardian they had been informally warned by managers about expressing public support for LTNs near their homes because it was seen as a politically contentious issue.
