Good move from News Broadcasters Association...
(from DC) Keeping in mind the sensitivity involving the Telangana issue, the self-regulatory body of broadcasters in the country - News Broadcasters Association — has asked channels to be “sensitive” while covering the release of the Srikrishna Committee report on December 31. The News Broadcasters Association has issued an advisory to editors of all news organisations affiliated to the body stating that it is necessary to ensure that the telecast of any news relating to it should not be sensational, inflammatory or provocative.
The advisory goes on to state that all news relating to the Srikrishna Committee report should strictly adhere to the contents of the report. “The channels should not broadcast any footage of violence, agitation, self-immolation, if any, and should not show any visuals relating to protests or celebrations in relation to the report,” it added. “The basic guideline to be adhered to is that all news relating to this subject should conform strictly to sub-serving the public interest of maintaining parochial and communal harmony, of eschewing any divisive or fissiparous tendencies and of preserving the secular ethos of our plural society,” the advisory stated.
It also asked broadcasters to preserve all the programmes telecast in relation to the Srikrishna Committee report, including scripts, for examination if necessary. The NBA News Broadcasters Association stated that information disseminated by channels could influence the public opinion. “The telecast of Srikrishna Committee report requires adherence to the code of ethics and the specific guidelines issued from time to time,” it added.(Deccan ,IWWH28-12)
