Introduction

This guidance supplements the BBC’s Editorial Guidelines (which can be found at www.bbc.co.uk/editorialguidelines ), by offering specific advice for those who will be commissioning, editing and releasing images on behalf of the BBC.

Images should be appropriate for all audiences and suitable for display both within BBC environments and on any platforms (print and digital) where BBC content may appear.  Images should maintain the integrity of the BBC, its programmes, and any talent or contributors appearing in them.
