Footnotes
- Letters to the Editor: Selection and treatment of letters for publication are the prerogative of editors who are to be guided by fairness, balance, and public interest in the correspondents’ views. Abridgement is acceptable but should not distort meaning.
- Council adjudications: Editors are obliged to publish with due prominence the substance of Council adjudications that uphold a complaint.
- Public interest is defined as involving a matter capable of affecting the people at large so that they might be legitimately interested in, or concerned about, what is going on, or what may happen to them or to others.
