Opinion & Impartially: codes of OFCOM

'Undue Promience is a significant imbalance of views aired within coverage of matters of political or industrial controversy or matters releasing to the public policy'.
        In other words, opinions should be balanced in all sections of the media industry. All opinions are therefore related to the public policy at an equal.

Impartially, the word itself means not favouring one side over the other. As a result, if a newreporter were to present an debate, that person can not put forward their personal opinion as that will come across as baised.

The Mark Dougan Murder covers both because 2 vocalists were voicing their opinion, one for and against was the preoccptions made on the police officer. This is an obvious sign of balance. Along with impartially, the news reporter did not favour either sides even though what was being said was couldve been true, very accurate. No sides were taken.
