Issues facing producers of factual programming

Factual Programming is a Programmer,which is based on facts that occur in real life. Such as a the News programmer or Documentary.

Accuracy: when doing the documentary you have to take care over the release of certain things containing information which may be put out to the public, these things maybe medical information or personal material, this has is because it can  put people's health and personal details at risk

Objectivity: In a documentary, getting the main point across being open minded about the point being made about the subject at hand.An example like reporting that emphasizes eyewitness accounts of events, corroboration of facts with multiple sources and balance of viewpoints.

Balance: when doing the documentary, information in some subjects like political content in the the public news. Also balance can be biased in describing a perceived issue as being more balanced between opposing viewpoints than the evidence actually supports. An example is journalists they may present evidence and arguments out of proportion to the actual evidence for each side.

Impartiality: This is having more of a balanced standing on subjects and not being biased to one side or the other this applies to all output and services such as - television, radio, online.

Subjectivity: This is simply keeping your personal views/feelings out of the issues as this can lead to more of an one sided view on the matter at hand and become more biased.

Bias: when an argument is completely one sided and ignores the evidence shown by the other party. Practical limitations to media, include availability of certain stories and facts.

Representation: stereotyping a person/group such as
People, places, objects, events, cultural identities
in a certain way this can be characterized into certain groups.

access:  means to communicate with or otherwise interact with a system: a specific type of interaction between a subject and an object that results in the flow of information from one to the other.
