Malicious falsehood means the publication of a false statement that damages a person. In criminal defamatory libel one publication could be the subject of both civil and criminal proceedings and the defamer could be made to pay damages. 3) Disclaimer Where you are invited to submit any contribution to Working Together (including any text or graphics) you agree, by submitting your contribution, to grant Working Together a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive right and license to publish your contribution on the Working Together collaboration and website and reproduce, modify, adapt, edit, publish, translate, create derivative works from and distribute your contribution, and/or incorporate your contribution in other works in any media now known or later developed, in accordance with privacy restrictions set out in the Working Together’s Privacy Policy.

Editorial Policy General Principle This document constitutes the Editorial Policy for the Working Together collaboration site and website. It is aimed at the editorial team with responsibility for the Working Together collaboration site and website. Specifically, this document refers to the content published by Working Together on www.working2gether.net and its associated collaboration site and does not relate to any comments published by the users of the Working Together collaboration site (e.g., user comments posted after articles). This document also applies to content published by the organisation elsewhere, such as marketing information, electronic newsletters, and external publications. In some cases, content sourced by the editorial team may not be considered suitable for publication on www.working2gether.net. In such cases, this document should be used as a guide to what is and what is not acceptable Content is required to comply strictly with this guideline to ensure that nothing is published that may damage Working Together or its interests. It is therefore necessary to define the types and nature of suitable content; to ensure all members of the Working Together team work from the same definitions; to ensure compliance in every aspect; and to ensure consistent application of this Editorial Policy. If there are requirements to adapt the policy, a new and separate genre document can be developed. Editorial Input Working Together's Editorial Staff reserve the right to discuss certain decisions based on this Editorial Policy. For example, this document would not allow specific and in depth discussions relating to racism, nor would it allow potentially racist comments to be published. However, certain articles may be based around, for example, certain current events or views of certain people that, in context, would allow such comments to be published. In such a case an adapted compliance policy would be developed. Working Together's Editorial Staff also carry the ultimate responsibility in publishing those comments. The articles in question will only go live if Working Together’s Director approves the articles. Genres Working Together's content will be supporting general channels based on categorisations that include (but is not limited to): Procurement Issues Value to the Citizen Capturing Innovation Creating a level playing field Digital Culture Also, it is anticipated that as Interest Groups expand, more genres will be covered. Each genre has differing compliance requirements (for example: in depth discussion of the sex industry would not normally be considered suitable, but might be allowed in the context of an article on how the sex industry utilises made-for-mobile content for example). Separate sub-set compliance policies will be created as necessary. For the purposes of this document a 'comment' is a set of words, phrase, sentence or paragraph within an article, feature, white paper, report, newsletter or other content affiliated to Working Together. All compliance therefore applies equally to sections of an article as to the whole article itself.

Reporting vs. Opinion Working Together seeks to portray diverse views and opinions but des not endorse all the views whose material it publishes. When the core of content is purely personal opinion of the author and is intended to promote only one side of an argument, the content will be clearly labelled as opinion. Working Together as an organisation may adopt or facilitate a position, or become involved in a campaign, based on the process of agreement as upheld by the Working Together management. Any such decisions will be made explicit. Corrections Policy When Working Together recognises it has published false or misleading information, it will publish corrections on the Working Together website and collaboration site with due prominence, and bring it to the attention of the originator of the material. Right to Reply Working Together welcomes comment/feedback of all our content and alternative points of view. Press Release Embargoes Working Together respects embargoes in all material issued to the press, to the extent that they are respected by other media. Conflict of interest Personal involvement of Working Together members of staff journalists (for example, through shares, membership of organisations or political parties) will always be disclosed where it might be thought to compromise editorial integrity. Working Together will work towards complete transparency of all relations between Working Together content and its sources. Picture Policy Working Together takes care not to wilfully misrepresent the subjects and objects portrayed in the images used on its site. Captions and attributions should always be fair and accurate. Digital manipulation will only be used to enhance a photograph (i.e. to clarify, not change, its meaning). Stereotypical images and the "pornography of poverty" should be avoided. When possible, individuals depicted should be named and placed in context. Video Policy As with still images, Working Together will take care not to wilfully misrepresent the subjects and objects portrayed in the video used on its site. Working Together will acquire written (online) consent and copyright agreement to broadcast video footage. Every video clip will be credited to the producer and source. When several clips are presented as a coherent storyline, the authorship of the storyline will be clearly identified. As with still images, individuals depicted should be named and placed in context, where possible. Audio Policy Working Together will take care that the subjects and objects portrayed in the audio used on its site are not wilfully misrepresented. Working Together will acquire written (online) consent and copyright agreement to broadcast audio footage. Every audio clip will be credited to the producer and source. If in Doubt If Working Together is in doubt about a particular piece of content it will either be rejected or edited, or the opinion of the appropriate member of management will be sought. If the appropriate representative decided the comment is publishable, the content will be published.
