BBCNI engaging in corruption & collusion by protecting NI Gov orgs (by failing to report Gov failure stories)

Joan Corrigan made this Freedom of Information request to British Broadcasting Corporation Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.

The request was refused by British Broadcasting Corporation.

Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,

Please outline the following re BBCNI

1.The name and contact details (email)for the Head of BBCNI

2.The reason why BBCNI has continually failed to publish and cover stories which portray Gov Bodies in a negative light. Eg the following five extremely important stories of huge public interest and which the NI public deserve to be informed about
a.
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/...
b.
https://www.derryjournal.com/health/rqia...
c.
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/...
d.
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/...
e.
https://uk.news.yahoo.com/department-hea...

3.Outline BBCNI's policy on choosing to not feature stories where HSC Trusts or DoH have been shown to have acted wrongly, unlawfully etc.

b) what specific yardstick, subjective opinions and whims are used to discard stories of huge importance and relevance to the people of NI, or is there a text/ source that is used to make decisions like that? (It seems beyond coincidental that huge swathes of key stories are not covered, but stories which do not criticize the Gov, *are* covered. This is censorship and propaganda and violates the terms of what BBCNI are paid to do. Withholding the truth is poor journalism and intensely biased.

(Who gets to decide what the NI public would want to know about? what's the agenda?)

4.The reason Mary Louise Connolly and Catherine Smyth ( Heads of Health correspondence) have both ignored all my communication for over a year on serious and important health stories
5.(DSAR) please provide all written communication between BBCNI staff about my communication with them on the following:
*Lakeview scandal Derry, see link
*Rqia scandal, judicial review, see link
*Employment Tribunal scandals, see links
*DoH apologizing to me as ordered by NIPSO , see link

and their decision making to ignore me and my tweets/emails.

Yours,
Joan Corrigan
