Just as a matter for discussion: since it's an accepted fact that people/everyone will dive into Wikipedia as a first port of call for a bit of background detail, how acceptable is it for an R3 presenter to read out part of an article, word for word without attribution to Wiki? No copyright problem but ... ? Does it give a superficial (false) impression that presenters are 'well-informed'?It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

Originally posted by ahinton View PostI don't know but I imagine that such an impression might equally well be gained by some people had the origin of the uncredited information been the programme producer or someone on the production team, or indeed from any other source; much would surely depend upon the extent to which and frequency with which some listeners might choose to assume that information provided by presenters has been researched by them personally rather than by someone else? That said, it seems only reasonable to quote at least some sources, especially when whole chunks are quoted.
This interests me because the BBC Trust reported a few years ago that their research showed that 'listeners' found the presenters 'well-informed'. It didn't say which presenters, nor did it indicate whether it was the sought-after new listeners 'with little knowledge of classical music' who were so impressed. [To be fair, they did also report that professional bodies indicated the reverse, but they didn't count for much.]It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
