大象传媒 London, ULEZ protest coverage, 15 April

Summary of complaint

We received complaints from people who were unhappy with the description given to those in attendance.


Our response

大象传媒 London has issued a statement about this on the Corrections and Clarifications website, in which it says:

"In a 大象传媒 London news bulletin on Saturday 15th April about a protest in Trafalgar Square we said:

'Campaigners against the ultra-low emission zone held a protest in central London today. Local protestors and mainstream politicians were joined by conspiracy theorists and far right groups'.

大象传媒 London had deployed a reporter to the protest and she witnessed, and documented, first-hand, motifs on tabards and placards with explicit Nazi references, along with other epithets about world order and democracy.

We are satisfied the protest was covered accurately and the script was a fair description of the people and groups attending the event.

Viewers were also directed to the 大象传媒 London website for a comprehensive look at the arguments for and against ULEZ".
