Accuracy and leo vegas cassino é seguroImpartiality 12.4.1 When reporting war and covering national and international emergencies, including extreme violence for political or ideological ends, disasters and major accidents, it is important to give the source of information and material from third parties, particularly when there are conflicting claims. These sorts of chaotic events often generate misinformation. For instance, first estimates of casualty figures may often turn out to be inaccurate. If different sources give different estimates, content makers should either report the range or go for the source which carries the greatest authority and attribute the estimate accordingly. 12.4.2 The BBC should make it clear if reports are censored or monitored or if content makers are asked or required to withhold information. The BBC should explain, wherever possible, the conditions under which it is operating. 12.4.3 Reporters and correspondents must be aware that comments they make on social media may be perceived as having the same weight as a BBC report, so should bear in mind the requirement for due accuracy and impartiality at all times. Inaccuracies must be corrected as quickly as possible. 12.4.4 When reporting demonstrations, disturbances and similar events, estimates of the numbers involved should be treated with appropriate scepticism; wide disparities should be reported as well as the sources of the figures. A comprehensive and impartial view of events should be offered. When it is difficult for reporters to form a clear overall view because of their location, their material should be put into a wider context. (See Section 3 Accuracy: 3.1 and 3.4.16) 12.4.5 In a UK civil emergency, the BBC aims to deliver essential information in the interests of public safety across services. Content makers should work with the relevant authorities to identify the kind of major incidents requiring a special response. However, appropriate editorial judgements to ensure accuracy and independence must be made. (See 12.4.20)
