GB News: GB News publishes response to proposed Ofcom changes to Broadcasting Code - Read in full
Ofcom is proposing to amend Rule 5.3 of the Broadcasting Code to clarify that politicians cannot present news in any type of program, not just news programs. This follows a High Court ruling that found Ofcom acted unlawfully in previous decisions regarding GB News.
