Editorial statute

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An editorial statute is the legal fixation of the rights of publishers and editors (delimitation of competencies) in press publishers, but also between the director (hierarchy) and (responsible) editor in public broadcasters . The content of such statutes includes, in particular, the establishment of editorial representatives and regulations for the settlement of content-related disputes as well as information, hearing and participation rights. Editorial offices are sometimes known as editor of representation or editor committee referred.

For most, but not all, public service broadcasters, state laws apply in accordance with the federal principle of cultural sovereignty of the federal states. Editorial statutes are set out in them, which also define the organizational form of the editor's representation . The editor's representatives are elected by the program staff and serve as an organ that is not integrated into the establishment hierarchy to implement the program mandate by ensuring internal freedom of broadcasting.
