Subject:  [cma-l] FREE Election2015 Guidelines Handbook for Community Radio
Stations

Hi All

This is going to be a big election period for community radio and a first
time for many stations.  So we, at The Radio People, have put together a
FREE Election Handbook which you can download here:
www.theradiopeople.co.uk/election <http://www.theradiopeople.co.uk/election>
 
As we are now in ŒPurdah¹, it is important that stations achieve a balance
between all parties and candidates in their programmes.  Another potential
danger zone for community broadcasters is the use of libellous or defamatory
comments by your presenters. It's important to know what you can say and
what you can¹t! So make sure all your on-air presenters get a copy.

We hope you find the handbook useful, that the guidelines answer many of
your questions about election coverage and that it helps your station stay
legal during Election2015.

All the best

David
