Summary of complaint
We received complaints from people who were unhappy with Martine Croxallβs addition to the autocue saying βwomenβ after βpregnant peopleβ, as part of a ΒιΆΉΙη News report about staying safe during the heatwave.
Our response
During a sequence about heatwaves, Martine Croxall was reading a script that directly quoted a report from The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. As the language wasnβt clearly attributed, she used her editorial judgement to make a live adjustment.
Weβre happy that this was duly accurate and impartial in line with the ΒιΆΉΙηβs Editorial guidelines.
