Does it meet legal/ ethical requirements? (copyright/bias/censorship/ libel).
Legal, WatershedAll content is fact and does not present content that would offend people. The content is not supportive nor does it discriminate against people of different ethnic groups. Though none of the games shown are rated 18, blood may feature in footage from games such as 'Bloodborne'. which is a 16 Therefore we would select and edit footage that would not include inappropriate content but is still relevant. Content would not be covered by the watershed since it airs mid-day, but as previously mentioned we have made sure the content is suitable for airing.

Bias
Our script is not bias. The scripts purpose is to inform and is not affiliated or supportive of any game, developer or anybody else who we could have a bias opinion against. It presents facts that have been taken from reliable sources.
Copyright
Our script does not break any copyright restrictions. This is because all visuals that are used are video game footage and audio that is used for the purposes of review and discussion; therefore it does not break any copyright restrictions. However we still would need to reference the material used and the game it is from, who it is supplied by etc and get permission for showing video game footage, audio and other content. Especially in some cases for games that have no footage released yet or are hard to get hold of.
This applies to the GFX and SFX that we use. If we use video game footage or audio during it we need to reference and gain permission for its usage from both the developers and publishers of the game the material comes from as that footage would also be copyrighted.
All lines used do not break copyright restrictions since it is news and nobody owns right towards this information. Though it is important to gain permission from developers and publishers for content that is not covered by this law since they can sue/fine us for the use of the content and this fine can often be thousands of pounds based on the severity.
