ALERTNET DEBATE: Children, crises and the media
Source: AlertNet
LONDON (AlertNet) - What does a photographer pack for an assignment in a war zone? Along with their cameras, lenses and flak jackets some used to carry a teddy bear.
The idea was that if there were no starving or orphaned children around you could always toss the teddy bear in a burnt out ruin and, bingo, you had your front page picture. The story was told by British tabloid reporter Ann Leslie at a lively debate on children, humanitarian crises and the media, hosted by Reuters AlertNet in London. Journalists and humanitarian workers on the panel swapped ideas on why newspapers and television channels cover some stories and neglect others.
