Locations RecceThis is my locations recce that I had to make sure was completed, before I went to take the images for my magazine’s first issue. It includes the location of where the images will be taken, the equipment needed, the permission needed and the potential risks/hazards that could occur(Risk Assessment).

Photography Plan

This is my Photography plan, which outlines the reasons behind choosing “BEATS” as my magazine title, the product description, the photographers details, casting members and reasons for choosing them to feature in the first issue of my magazine, (model requirements) how they should like?, hair and make up and finally where and when the photoshoot is going to take place.To view this In full check out my blog page.

Risk Assessment Potential hazards/Risks

Here I have shown that having unnecessary electrical wirers on the floor in the way of the scene can cause a lot of risks to people’s health and safety for example someone could potentially not see the wirers in the way and they could trip and fall causing injury.

Here we can see that there is a crowded scene of equipment in the studio all at the same time. This could cause the crew members to trip and fall over. It could also cause frustration and stress due to having too much equipment in the scene when it is not necessary.

Permission needed for images taken

Above is the email I sent to Tony, who is a friend of mine, who kindly offered to let me use his house as the location to take the images.

Permission needed for images taken (Continued)

Here is the email, that I received from Tony, agreeing to let me use his house for the location for the images.

Permission needed for images taken (Continued)

Here is the email that I sent back to Tony to agree with the arrangement. It is extremely important when talking about ethical issues to always ask permission from the owner of the location to take photographs as this would be a breach against the law.

Interview with Tony

As part of the permission procedure to take the photographs for my magazine, I decided to meet up with Tony, to interview him to further ask him if the location arrangement was still on. Below are the questions that I asked him:

HSE: Health and Safety Executive

A risk assessment is simply a careful examination of what, in your workplace, could cause harm to people, so that you can determine whether you have taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm. Workers and others have a right to be protected from harm caused by a failure to take reasonable control measures. Accidents and ill health can ruin lives and affect your business too if output is lost, machinery is damaged, insurance costs increase or you have to go to court.

HSE monitor the health and safety at work act and they provide information on how to undertake a risk assessment to prevent hazards and risks from occurring.

Health and Safety at Work Act

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, which is also referred to as HSWA, is the primary piece of legislation covering occupational health and safety in Great Britain. The Health and Safety Executive and local authorities and other enforcing authorities are responsible for enforcing the Act and a number of other Acts and Statutory Instruments relevant to the working environment.

Here at BEATS Magazine HQ, we really follow and enforce this act to all of our employees because they need to have a good understanding of all the potential risks/hazards that could occur/happen.

Public liability Insurance

Public Liability insurance would cover a business if a customer or member of the public was to suffer a loss or injury as a result of its business activities and if that person made a claim for compensation. The insurance would cover the compensation payment plus any legal expenses.

It is extremely important that I get Public Liability Insurance at BEATS Magazine HQ. This is because it would be really beneficial to us for when we shoot images outside and if one of clients or members of staff get injured or equipment or property gets damaged and the owners claim compensation when we have insurance that will cover it and save us the money and hassle.

How does NME conduct their Risk Assessment

1. Identify the hazards that could potentially occur i.e. crowded photography and electrical equipment in the way. This could cause someone to trip over and fall and hurt themselves.

2. Decide who might be harmed and how i.e. Photographers, other NME crew members and bands and artists (George Ezra). If there is too much electrical wirers on the floor, they could trip over and hurt themselves.

3. Evaluate the risks and decide on control measures: In order to prevent this from happening, they will make sure that all wires are not in the way of where people are going to be working.

4. Record your findings and implement them: NME will make a table/database of all the risks/hazards and the control measures of what they will do to prevent them from happening.

5. Review your assessment and update if necessary: They will review all the risks and then update if they think of anything else that could possibly happen.

IPSO stands for “Independent Press Standards Organisation” they handle with complaints about misuse of the editors code of practice. They took over the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) in September 2014 when they closed down.

PCC/IPSO – What do you need to consider?

1.Initial assessment2.Referral to the publication 3.The investigation4.Adjudication by the Complaints 5.Remedies6.Review of the process7. Complaints which are not pursued8. Unacceptable behaviour by complainants and vexatious complaints

In order to make a complaint via IPSO, you have to fill in a form, which is in 4 sections. You must be as honest as possible.

The four sections of the form consist of:1. Your complaint2. How the code has been breached?3. About you?4. Review

The reason behind having the complaints form in four sections is because it will help IPSO further understand and breakdown what the complaint is and if it is actually breaching with the Editors Code.

THE EDITORS' CODEAll members of the press have a duty to maintain the highest professional standards. The Code, which includes this preamble and the public interest exceptions below, sets the benchmark for those ethical standards, protecting both the rights of the individual and the public's right to know. It is the cornerstone of the system of self-regulation to which the industry has made a binding commitment.

It is essential that an agreed code be honoured not only to the letter but in the full spirit. It should not be interpreted so narrowly as to compromise its commitment to respect the rights of the individual, nor so broadly that it constitutes an unnecessary interference with freedom of expression or prevents publication in the public interest.

It is the responsibility of editors and publishers to apply the Code to editorial material in both printed and online versions of publications. They should take care to ensure it is observed rigorously by all editorial staff and external contributors, including non-journalists, in printed and online versions of publications.

Editors should co-operate swiftly with the Press Complaints Commission in the resolution of complaints. Any publication judged to have breached the Code must publish the adjudication in full and with due prominence agreed by the Commission's Director, including headline reference to the PCC.

“Sets the benchmark” connotes for my own magazine that I need to consider that all editorial staff are informed and are aware of the ethical rights and they cannot use anything that is misleading, incorrect or offensive.

This is “The Editors Code”, that all magazine editors have to fully understand and follow before producing a new magazine. Important areas in particular are.

As an editor of a magazine, it is our responsibility that we follow and apply the code to the production of all editorial material in both printed and online versions.

I will do this by making sure that myself and all editorial staff are aware and agree to maintain all laws within the code such as giving out a copy of the code and and sending an email to all staff.

Intellectual Property

Every social media network have their own rules based on how to use and not to use the brand’s logo. For example You can only use the Facebook ‘f’ logo to refer to:Your presence on Facebook, such as your Page, timeline, group, app or eventYour implementation of Facebook on your websiteYour product’s integration with Facebook, such as ‘For use with Facebook’Content that originates from Facebook

You are not allowed to use the Facebook logo to publicize anything other than what is listed above. You also cannot just use the ‘f’ logo by itself. It must be accompanied with a call to action. Examples of proper calls to action include:Like us on FacebookFollow us on Facebook

Intellectual Property: What I need to consider?

To be able to use the Facebook logo within my magazine, I would have to request permission by filling out a Brand Permission Request Form. Without filling one of these out, I would be breaking the law.

Intellectual Property: What I need to consider?

There is no specific form to fill out in order to use the Twitter Logo, however there is a page on their website, which the person using it should follow in order to use the logo for online and static purposes.

There are many guidelines for the correct way to use the logo which state the don'ts of using the twitter logo some of then include; •Don’t rotate the logo, •Don’t add special effects to the logo,•Don’t animate the logo,•And don’t use told versions of the twitter logo.

There are four different formats that the twitter bird logo can be used which are the blue bird on a black background, and white bird on a black background, a blue bird on a white background and white bird on a blue background. For my magazine I have chosen to use the letter ‘T’ which is a blue letter with white stroke effect on a blue background.

The display guidelines discusses the do’s and don’ts of how to use the twitter logo to promote your twitter account for example; Do type ‘Follow us on Twitter’ follow by your @username when your unable to show the twitter bird. Don’t use any other form of artwork from our site such as the verified badge.

Case Study Example 1In 2009, the PCC criticized Woman Magazine for failing to publish a upheld PCC adjudication in full and with due prominence. In this case, the original article had appeared on a double page spread over pages 8 and 9. The publication of the adjudication on page 30 was insufficiently prominent. In addition, the ruling appeared in a smaller typeface than the rest of the page, did not make reference to the PCC in the headline, and had been heavily edited, with around half of it not included. This was unacceptable to the Commission, prompting a further critical adjudication which the magazine then published prominently and in full.

Case Study Example 2In May 2009, Take a Break magazine upheld a rare complain under clause 16 (payment to criminals) of the editors code, which prohibits payments to criminals or their associates, following the complaint.

The magazine published the story of Christine Chivers, who had pleaded guilty to an arson attack on the home of another woman, Christine Wishart. The article was based on information provided by Ms Chivers' daughter, who was paid £1,000, and it included Ms Chivers' claim that, in spite of her plea, she had not carried out the attack. Take a Break argued that it was important to highlight a potential miscarriage of justice.The Commission did not accept the magazine's defence: “It was clear that Ms Chivers' crime had been exploited for money in breach of the Code…” and there was nothing in the article of “sufficient public interest to justify the payment… It did not point to any clear evidence of a miscarriage of justice, and it was not part of a campaign to have the conviction quashed”. While the magazine was not prohibited from publishing Ms Chivers' story, the Commission concluded that “the decision to offer payment was misguided and the editor should have recognised that immediately”.

ConclusionIn this section, I have be able to assess location, risks and legal and ethical issues relevant to my print based media music magazine and also finding solutions to any risks or issues.

I have provided and presented my locations recce (Photography Plan), the permission I received from Tony including the interview, who I used his house to take the images, outlined how NME conduct their risk assessment, using HSE to help me and gives me ideas of what an risk assessment entails.

I have also explained what IPSO stands for and what they do regarding handling complaints in the press, within this I have shown the procedure how to make a complaint. I have also provided the Editors Code of Practice and two case study examples of when the press have breached against the code.
