” a symbolic and emblematic “

” We took the decision last night not to broadcast pictures of terrorists on the air until further notice. The reflection was engaged in writing for some time. It accelerated after Nice, with the repetition of such tragedies “, said Hervé Béroud, the editorial director of BFM TV.

” The picture was a symbolic and emblematic, especially on a news channel continuously with so many newspapers and repeated broadcasts. The photo can reach the same level victims and terrorists, “has he said

However, the chain will continue to broadcast the names of the bombers.” This element was given directly by the prosecutor (of the Republic in Paris, François) Molins. The difficulty of this debate is to take also care not to give up information, “says he.
