Did We Show Too Much?

BBC’s James Reynolds reflects on his earthquake reporting trip:

On TV, we tried to show you the death we came across without horrifying you – and without taking away the dignity of those who died. We tried to show dead bodies only when they were covered under blankets.

There was one exception – we spent a long time considering it. In the town of Hanwang a middle school had collapsed, trapping and killing hundreds of pupils.
