Quality assurance
• On the editorial level maintaining quality includes all the systematically planed procedures which contribute to determining journalistic production process or services or to improve them and adjust them to previously defined requirements – quality goals.
• Quality assurance thereby helps to define corrective measures to meet the set standards and to overcome deficits.
• To develop, steer and ensure quality in the media companies, suitable management concepts are necessary, which develop the corresponding structures and creates internal guidelines.

(a) Quality policy and rules
• The management should provide evidence of its commitment to well-defined core values. The quality policy of the management should be formalized in the form of a widely disseminated document that is reviewed at least once a year.
• This document could for example include an editorial charter that guarantees the independence of the media organization from any kind of power, be it political, economical or other.
• A code for programmes or mission statement, an ethical code or a quality manual includes e.g. professional norms of quality journalism, such as pluralism of opinions and points of view, consideration for minority groups, promotion of diversity etc.

(b) Resources and processes
• The management should identify and document all the processes having a direct impact on the quality of editorial content, the relationship with advertisers, the relationship with external suppliers of content, the measurement of audience figures and listeners/viewers’ satisfaction, and the management of human resources.
• The organization should have clear rules of recruitment and professional development options for all its employees.
• The organization should establish an in-house critic, or a “content evaluation commission”, and put in place a quality or ethics committee and mediation mechanisms (e.g. ombudsman) to deal with external complaints.
