BBC could impose social media rules into contracts to prevent spoilers
The BBC could be set to add a new clause to its contracts to prevent staff and guests from releasing sensitive information to the public.
Following a number of unofficial announcements being made by guest talent working for the corporation, the Guardian says that senior executives at the BBC want to add a ban into the contracts of its talent preventing them from disclosing details of its shows through social media.
The corporation believes that a number of press and marketing campaigns have been spoiled by its talent who have disclosed details of programmes through their own social media feeds.
A spokesman told MediaGuardian: "Most talent tweeting fall under the personal usage bracket, and are advised by their agents/producers and we encourage them to read our guidelines."
