French media pull attackers? photos over ?glorification? fears
The country’s two global news broadcasters RFI and France 24, as well as its biggest rolling television news channel BFMTV, said they would stop showing images of the attackers. The public Arab-language radio station Monte Carlo Doualiya followed suit. Daily newspapers Le Monde and La Croix had earlier an**unced similar moves, while Europe 1 radio station went further still saying it would **t be “naming terrorists”. BFMTV, which came in for criticism for interviewing gunman Amedy Coulibaly during the January 2015 kosher supermarket hostage siege in Paris in which four people died, said it had also stopped using images of attackers. “We made the decision last night to ** longer show pictures of the terrorists until further **tice,” said editorial director Herve Beroud. “Photographs are very symbolic... and are shown repeatedly. They tend to put the terrorists and the victims on the same level,” he told AFP. He said the station would continue to name attackers. “The difficulty of this debate is that we have to guard against **t informing people,” he added. But the left-leaning daily Liberation said it would continue to name and publish photos of attackers. “Publishing photos of terrorists and glorifying them is **t the same thing,” deputy managing editor Johan Hufnagel said. The surprise decisions came as Europe reeled from a wave of violence as a German expert told AFP that there was strong preliminary evidence that blanket media coverage led to further terror attacks. Professor Michael Jetter warned it could also be a factor in inspiring other unbalanced people to kill. “If you devote a lot of coverage to an attack we will see more attacks in the following week and more also in the coming months,” said the researcher at the University of Western Australia, who has studying data on terrorist violence dating back to 1970. “If you think about it for a second from the perspective of a terrorist organisation, (blanket coverage) is exactly what they want,” he said. “Everyone is watching it, everybody is afraid of them, everybody is looking at what they stand for.” The brutal killing of an elderly priest on Tuesday has further traumatised a country already reeling from the truck massacre in Nice in which 84 died -- the third major terror attack in 18 months. أكثر... ??????? ??????: French media pull attackers? photos over ?glorification? fears || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
