The Ethics of Reporting Terrorism

BBC Radio 4 - The Media Show, The Ethics of Reporting Terrorism

From "door-stepping" to naming attackers, journalists question their practice

After Sunday’s attack in Liverpool, journalists are questioning the right way to report responsibly on these types of incident. When should the words "terror attack" be used on a front page? And is it morally wrong to "door-step" victims and members of the public caught up in an attack? Also in the programme, Sky in the UK have launched a new streaming service, Peacock, in the week that Netflix says it will double its studio space in the UK. Can the traditional TV giants claw back an audience from the likes of Netflix and Disney? 

Guests: Maria Breslin, Editor at the Liverpool Echo; Kamal Ahmed, Editor-in-Chief at The News Movement; Julia Alexander, Senior Strategy Analyst at Parrot Analytics; Simon Walker, Chief Executive at Marquee TV.

Studio engineer: Nigel Dix

Producer: Hannah Sander

Presenter: Katie Razzall

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
