I contacted the BBC over on month ago to request their editorial policy on citations (the citation is the information placed at the foot of an article about the author of the article). After two separate phone calls and two separate assurances that my request would be answered swiftly (initially I was told within 10 days), I have yet to receive anything at all. Does the BBC actually have such a policy, or do they simply make their decisions about citations ad hoc? I am beginning to wonder about the meaning of what now feels to me a very conspicuous silence. I shall call them again tomorrow......let's see what that achieves.
