Definitions:

accuracy - how correct or focused a aspect is

balance - making sure more than one side to a argument or point is equally shown




impartiality - making sure that one side of a point is not favoured or highlighted as the favourable aspect




objectivity - hardcore facts and proof of evidence to back up a opinion




subjectivity - personal choice and outlook on a point based on impressions, and emotions

bias – making a more stronger and favoured point on one point of view compared to the other aspects.

Representation – a description or object on how a person wishes to be portrayed or categorized

Access – how and what information can be used and accessed by the producers

Privacy – by making sure that the information or identity of a being is hidden or making sure that there is confidentiality in the data or a individual.

contract with viewer – making sure that the information is correct and 100% factual if the program is for factual purposes.
