The accident made the news for many days. Soon the media itself came under criticism when two major daily newspapers published portrait photos of the children who died. Photos that these children had posted on Facebook before the accident – laughing and carefree on the ski slopes. Sonja Volkmann-Schluck from the German Press Council looks back on this case, with Pieter Knapen from the Raad voor de Journalistiek Belgium and Liesbeth van Impe, editor-in-chief at&nbsp;<a href="https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Het_Nieuwsblad" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Het Nieuwsblad</a>.

For example, how do journalists cover accidents and human tragedies without hurting the victims’ dignity? And how do they differentiate themselves from disinformation via social media? In this podcast, the press councils from Belgium, Finland and Germany are talking about two important cases that show what reporting standards like truthfulness and the protection of victims mean for everyday life reporting.&nbsp;&nbsp;Visit us at&nbsp;https://presscouncils.eu/&nbsp;for information on your national press code and ethical reporting standards within Europe!The production is an effort by the German press council and was developed and produced by Roman Kern, as part of the Media Councils in the Digital Age project.&nbsp; Hosted on Acast.
