Overview
The complaint concerns Glasgow City Council (the Council)'s handling of a request from the Complainant (Mr C) for accreditation as a journalist.
Specific complaint and conclusion
The complaint which has been investigated is that the Council had acted unreasonably in refusing to recognise Mr C as a journalist (not upheld).
Redress and recommendations
While I do not uphold Mr C's complaint I suggest that, to avoid any possible confusion in the future, the Council consider producing a written policy detailing the criteria used by them when considering requests for recognition from journalists.
The Ombudsman has no further recommendations to make.
