News(Korean ver.)
April 15, 2013 the news about the North
Korea was became the first page of the BBC internet newspaper. The three BBC
journalists and 10 London School of Economics students went to the North Korea
to take panorama films and for research. They spent eight days in the country. Alex Peters, the LSE students' union, said the program
should be dropped because students were lied to and could not give informed
consent. But, BBC head of news programs, Ceri Thomas said that, the students
had been already informed of the risks on three separate occasions. Three of
the students asked that their images be taken out. But the public interest
arguments for making and showing the program were "overwhelming".
Students'
union general secretary Ms Peters, who was not on the trip, told the BBC News
Channel: "One of the students made it absolutely clear that she was not
made aware of what happened.” In the other hand, someone insisted, "They’ve
(BBC journalists) used students essentially as a human shield in this
situation."
