What this does not establish
The records above establish that Clare Sumner (Director of Policy), BBC, Magnus Brooke (Head of Public Policy) ITV, Helen Jay (Head of Policy and Corporate Affairs), Channel 4, Philip Jenner (VP Government Relations Europe), Viacom, Owen Evans (Chief Executive), S4C, Iseabail Mactaggart (Director of Strategy and Partnership), MG Alba, Simon Pitts (Chief Executive), STV, Anna Mallett (Chief Executive), ITN, Adam Minns (Executive Director), COBA, David Montgomery (Chairman), Local TV Network, Siobhan Kenny (Chief Executive), RadioCentre, Will Harding (Chief Strategy Officer), Global, Travis Baxter (Content and External Affairs Director), Bauer, Alexandra Stepney (Head of Policy and Public Affairs), News UK, Kevin Backhurst (Group Director), Ofcom and each entity named appear together in an official register, in the relationship that register records, on the date it records. They do not establish why any donation was made, why any contract was awarded, whether any one record was known to the people behind another, or that any record caused another. No causal inference is made on this page, and nothing here is a finding of any kind against anyone. A reported donation is a lawful, reported transaction; a contract award is a published notice; a seat is a seat.
