Group Assignment

You are members of the Board of Directors of the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council, attending your monthly Regional Council meeting. Today you must resolve the complaint that is before you. When making your decision, you must take the following into consideration:

1. The facts of the case: both the viewer's complaint, and the station's handling of that complaint.
   
   
2. Which codes and their subsections the complaint falls under.
   
   
3. Factors such as the content of the program, the context of the story, the time of day which the program aired.
   
   
4. Any other pertinent issues.
   

Your decisions must be submitted to the CRTC (your teacher) for final approval on the date we have discussed in class.

Decisions must be type-written, clearly stated and must address all aspects of the complaint.
