麻豆社

The 麻豆社 Trust has today (19 December 2012) published the conclusions of the inquiry by former Head of Sky News Nick Pollard into a dropped Newsnight investigation which featured allegations of sexual abuse by Jimmy Savile.

The independent review sought to establish whether there were any failings in the 麻豆社’s management of the relevant investigation, including the broadcast of tribute programmes on Jimmy Savile on the 麻豆社. The 麻豆社 Trust also subsequently asked Nick Pollard to investigate how inaccuracies appeared in a blog about the investigation and how the corrections to that blog were handled.

Nick Pollard's full report and the responses from the 麻豆社 Executive and the 麻豆社 Trust can found below.

Following publication of the report, Nick Pollard had a conversation with a journalist regarding some information that he had not included in his report. It was suggested that this conversation raised questions about the validity of the conclusions of his review. Nick Pollard confirmed to the Trustees in an (PDF link) that he stood by the conclusions of his report. The Trustees considered this and were satisfied that he properly weighed all the evidence and that the conclusions of his report were unaffected. You can  published on 11 December 2013.
