War on terror/ Revealing sensitive information
France's
broadcasting watchdog has issued formal warnings to 16 French television and
radio stations over their coverage of terrorist attacks, hostage-takings and
police standoffs last month.
Some
stations were given simple warnings, while some were issued formal notices that
could lead to financial sanctions in the case of a repeat offense.
The
watchdog agency, known as CSA, accused several stations of putting the lives of
hostages in danger by revealing sensitive information amid intense,
blow-by-blow coverage of the Jan. 7-9 events.
