While nursing assistant Teresa Romero fighting for his life after being infected with the Ebola virus, some media are conducting practices directly conflict with the basic principles of journalistic ethics. Especially serious is the accusation made by workers themselves Radio and Public Television Castilla-La Mancha directed Ignacio Villa , who reported for blatant censorship first, and Contagion trivialized after .
In a note issued by the council on Tuesday, workers pointed to the “dirty tricks” that were making the news services of the Public Television and Radio Castilla-La Mancha “at the news of the first spread of Ebola in Spain.” They show how the same day, 7 “minutes before 9 am, came to drafting Radio Castilla-La Mancha express order not to offer any information about Ebola in the bulletin that was about to be issued” . One day earlier, on Monday, was avoided mentioning the matter until the Minister of Health appeared at a press conference, simply connect with the appearance “to give the official version” and adding “ a merely subjective comments the gathering that was playing at the time “.
Contradictions
No address denounce workers, “considered news this reality that information is carried in all the press, radio and television Spain and the world. ” The workers’ representatives claim that this absence “ reveals poor judgment, professionalism, sense of timeliness and respect for the right to information of citizens ” and end demanding “an explanation of the criteria that follow when selecting information content of this public channel and what instructions Nacho Villa has to decide when an event that matters to society and affects the lives of people it’s news or what’s not. ” Professionals ask “if news was the repatriation of Spanish missionary who brought with Ebola from Africa” or the fact that the virus has already affected a health worker who had contact with him [...] if I was then subject extensively treated in our programs the spirit of solidarity of the Catholic missionary, can not understand that they are not now the consequences of that decision. “
After meeting that note, the presenter program We will not move starring Wednesday opening its space frivolizando copper contagion Teresa Romero, with a parody of the worst taste , as dozens of workers reported that medium through Twitter with messages like “ I am a journalist a public medium . Do not confuse me with this please. Amazingly RTVCM is “,” If this is information management … we are … “.
Meanwhile, the general direction of the public body wanted to show, in a statement to the means, “ puzzled ” to what they consider a “manipulation unscrupulous wanted to make about media treatment has been done in RTVCM.”
The public entity also said that “from the outset has been reported Ebola on all information and opinion spaces” and noted that in the information gathering No we move “ has been flattered, have been encouraged and is lifted up the role and bravery of Teresa Romero for his work. “
Criticism of the media after chained errors
Also, in the last hours, social networks have collected hundreds of media and professional reviews they have done little practice chords of media ethics; especially those against virulent website emisara bishops, Cope, who late in the afternoon of Thursday published an article in which he reported the death of a nursing assistant, but withdrew shortly after the news and stated that he had not inserted. Multiple Internet copied the link successfully demonstrated the grave mistake by not contrasting that such sensitive news.
Meanwhile, the digital version of the newspaper Abc published an article stating that the body of Teresa Romero “will be cremated.” have also been collected furious comments on the words of the speaker Federico Jimenez Losantos , who, to gloss over the possible spread of the nursing assistant, said that “ in sin leads Penance “. type=”_moz”
