Aside from what we do hear (and how terrible is it to hear all that) there is also what we hear we don't hear ... [no apologies to Donald R]. Hear this!

Much of it is common sense; the more general we are, the free-er hand we have; more specific and it becomes increasingly tricky. There are specific issues raised about the live coverage of combat operations:
> >We should not identify the specific location where any battle is taking place
> >We cannot mention military targets which the targets are being pursued
> >They don't want us to publish information about missing personnel and captives until it's released by the authorities
> >We cannot cover any visits of officials live
> >So far, we've not been stopped from broadcasting anything we wanted to. However, as the rules tighten up, it's inevitable that we will have to make clear that we're unable to report certain facts. Rather than come up a form of words for programme teams in London, I suspect it will probably make more sense to the audience if it forms part of the narrative of the story. So, as in Tyre, the teams on the ground will make clear what they can and cannot say -- and if necessary make clear that we're operating under reporting restrictions. J
