The BBC And Suicide Bombs At Tea Time
BEN Rich, deputy editor of the BBC’s Six O’Clock news on the suicide attack in Dimona, Israel:
We have a pretty firm rule about these things, especially at six o’clock in the evening. We do not show someone actually being killed. So we had to decide how much of the incident could be included in the piece.
In the end we used the pictures up to the moment the police officer fired his gun at the bomber lying on the ground, then froze it but carried on the sound of the shots over it. We did not then show the scene after the shooting finished.
Less is more…
