However, reporters / producers / publishers must cooperate
during the content editing process to identify potential threats. Reporters after publishing their material are responsible for further contacts with viewers, other media and the marketing department. They are also obliged to monitor user comments and discussions on the Internet regarding the materials they publish.

The following rules specify editorial responsibility for content published on all StrimeoTV platforms:
• Persons ordering, producing and publishing content on online platforms are
Responsible for making their own editorial assessments, as well as in case of doubt should consult the publisher.

• The editorial responsibility for the content published on the site lies with the person who created the content
• The basic rule is that the editors decide and the lawyers advise.
Timeliness is a key principle – however, the content must always be checked before publication, when a problem occurs it must be immediately reported to the publisher,

In practice, all persons responsible for publishing, production and / or content publishing on StrimeoTV channels must:

• Be fully familiar with all materials produced for publication on StrimeoTV channels, regardless of whether they are produced internally or by external suppliers
• Ensure that all potentially contentious or controversial content (or material related to controversial topics) is read / checked before being published.

• Ensure that all material rights of third parties in the material are secured
• Seek legal advice before and after publication in a timely manner on any matter that may cause legal problems or require advice from a law firm (in the case of, for example, defamation, breach of privacy)

Photosensitive epilepsy (PSE) is a serious condition that can be caused

Through flashing images or some patterns. The StrimeoTV production department responsible for ordering video content must be sensitive to this risk and must ensure that all providers understand the risk and take appropriate action to minimize any negative effects. Any content that contains flashing images and / or patterns that it might cause

The supplier should report the undesirable effects associated with PSE to the person responsible for production. This will allow StrimeoTV to check the content and provide appropriate precautions to keep the risk level low for users who have photosensitive epilepsy by editing the material or posting the appropriate warning.

• Information during live broadcast to help users determine if the broadcast content may contain fragments potentially unsuitable for minors

The following are specific technologies and approaches that have been implemented to allow effective control of access to content offered to our users.
• Age ratings of programs
All content is classified by age before it is published (this data is stored in the CMS system, ready for use on StrimeoTV’s own websites as well as on external sites).

Age ratings are:
• No rating – safe at all times for all users
• 16 – suitable for persons over 16 years of age
• 18 – content intended for adults only. They don’t appear in the content we produce.

Editors must always evaluate to determine the relevance of content for the age of the audience. • Warnings (in-stream graphics, text placed on the site so that users can see the warning as content progresses)

• Transmission information (eg Time TX after the catchment area helps inform people about it expect programs with more adult content)
• Guidelines
Support information is used in all content on Channel 4’s own websites, including video, images and text.
