Mai bine este a tacea

Acum se stie, printul Harry e de 2 luni si jumatate in Afganistan. A mai incercat el sa ajunga si in Iraq, insa marii generali nu i-au dat voie. Mainstream media de aici din Marea Britanie a acceptat o propunere a ministerului apararii de a nu publica nimic despre serviciul militar al lui Harry cu talibanii.
Acordul a functionat surprinzator de bine si pana la Drudge Report, nimic despre unde e Harry nu a transpirat in media.
Pe blogul The Editros de la BBC, Jon Williams, care este seful de la “externe” de la BBC povesteste cum s-a intamplat aceasta poveste:
A news black-out is unusual, but not unique. An agreement exists between the police and the media over the reporting of kidnaps - the police have the right to request that media organisations don’t report an abduction while negotiations are under way, in case it makes the release of the hostage more difficult; in return, they accept the responsibility to update the media regularly and reveal the full story, on camera, once the situation has been resolved. When lives are at risk, it’s not always helpful to have things played out in the glare of publicity.
Ce au primit BBC, ITV si Ski la schimb? Evident interviuri cu si acces la Harry in Afganistan.
