What you should know about Broadcasting Standards Authority
The BSA provides the public with a free, independent complaints service, determining complaints that allege that a broadcaster has breached one or more standards in one of the Codes of Broadcasting Practice. We deal with complaints about programmes on broadcast media that is, free to air television, Pay TV, live streaming and radio but NOT on demand . We work with broadcasters and others to set clear broadcasting standards, reviewing the Codes of Broadcasting Practice, issuing practice notes and undertaking research. The Authority did not uphold the complaint, finding that the accountability of New Zealand’s judiciary was an issue of public interest, and that the item was a valuable exercise of the broadcaster’s right to freedom of expression. If you wish to make a complaint regarding any of these, please visit the Advertising Standards Authority website.
