Maintaining balance and impartiality in conflicts
Listeners react to the coverage of the ongoing crisis in the Ukraine. ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ World Service English controller Jon Zilkha responds to listeners’ comments and questions.
We look at the coverage of the ongoing crisis in the Ukraine. The controller of ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ World Service English Jon Zilkha joins us in the studio to respond to listeners’ comments and questions. How do you maintain "balance" and impartiality in reporting armed conflicts? Is it the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ’s role to actively counter disinformation from Russia? Is there a risk the media might end up demonising ordinary Russians?
