Adam Fleming, political reporter at Daily Politics and Sunday Politics has investigated some of the guidelines BBC programmes are following during the EU referendum campaign. We've collected his films below. They're also available on the Daily Politics website.
How is the Question Time audience chosen?
In this film, Adam speaks to Question Time chairman David Dimbleby about how the audience for the weekly TV debate have been selected during the referendum campaign. Hundreds apply but only 150 are chosen following questions about gender, voting in the last election, the subject the audience member wants to talk about and where they are on the referendum debate.
Adam also looks forward to the Great EU Referendum debate at Wembley's SSE Arena on Sunday 21 June and explains how the 6000-strong arena audience is selected to ensure it is balanced.
Andrew Marr, John Piennar, and Andrew Neil on interviews
Political presenters talk impartiality
Andrew Marr says that he tries to 'keep it calm' and smile during interviews. Looking at people in the eye and asking the obvious questions the viewer would want asked is crucial for an impartial interview.
Starting from a position that we are impartial is, for John Pienaar, important - everything after that is 'easy', he says. Recognising there is no place for personal prejudices or a personal take on things, then the questions that follow will fall into the necessary category and then make sense.
Referendum Guidelines
What are the BBC's referendum guidelines?
The BBC's Chief Political Adviser Ric Bailey says that guidelines for a referendum detail that the BBC must achieve broad balance. "It’s not about maths, it's about really good judgment and being fair to both sides in a consistent way. The balance we are trying to achieve is that between the arguments - the arguments for remain and the arguments for leave."
