‘Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone’ Breached BBC’s Accuracy Guidelines by Not Disclosing That Narrator Was Son of Hamas Official, Review Finds
BBC review finds Gaza documentary breached accuracy guidelines by failing to disclose 13-year-old narrator's father worked for Hamas government.
BBC director-general Tim Davie said: “Peter Johnston’s report identifies a significant failing in relation to accuracy in this documentary. The review determined that three members of HOYO Films knew about the father’s position when the program first aired, but no one at the BBC was aware of this information at the time. HOYO Films issued a statement taking the findings “extremely seriously” and apologizing for the mistake, while noting they were pleased the report found no evidence of inappropriate third-party influence on the documentary’s content.
