There is advice in the ±«Óãtv’s Editorial Guidelines on reporting War, Terror & Emergencies which includes considerations about accuracy and impartiality, as well as harm and offence issues when using graphic material.
In addition, a number of programmes have asked for advice on covering fundraising activity. ±«Óãtv Editorial Policy has put together specific advice on this here.
We also need to take particular care with material of prisoners of war on both sides of the conflict. It’s important that we act in line with the provisions of the Geneva Convention, which reflects the fact that prisoners of war are under duress and not in a position to act or speak freely. Any decision to use material of prisoners of war, accept offers of access, or interview prisoners, needs to be discussed in advance with senior editors and - where appropriate – Editorial Policy.
There is also guidance available about user generated content.
It is important to consider the safety of contributors, and as well as our guidance on Working with Vulnerable Contributors. Advice can also be sought from High Risk and News Safety.
Please remember to get in touch with Editorial Policy if you need any help navigating this complex story.
