Response to OFCOM ruling on Zac Goldsmith/Channel 4 News

Category: News Release

Channel 4 has issued the following statement in response to OFCOM's ruling on Zac Goldsmith/Channel 4 News

Jim Gray, Editor, Channel 4 News says: "We have always maintained that our investigation into Mr Goldsmith's election spending, and our dealings with him throughout have been absolutely fair and balanced - so it is pleasing to see Ofcom's research into his complaints reach the same conclusions. When you commit to asking awkward questions you accept that your findings may provoke criticism - so we welcome Ofcom's thorough handling of the complaints, and their vindication of our journalism. At the centre of all of this remain important questions about the clarity and enforcement of campaign spending limits."
