In this publicationón I analyze the responsibility that must be had when reporting on events around a damn aéreo.
With the úlatest events that were known toúwar of a mediumáethical and regrettable accidentéreo, I insistedó an idea in my head.
The éethics of what isá right or wrong to publish and spread on social networks, especially with informationón not confirmed or from official sources.
How to reviewé previously, we are all free to write what we believe is right and no one owns itñor the truth or úonly to be able to spread it, but there is aíthin line between informing and misinforming.
In order to get visitors, clicks o más followers some media or accounts publish what is known as «fake news» it's también unconfirmed photos or videos.
Possibly, más at once I publishedé informationón not confirmed for just having the scoop, but you have to evolve and learn from the power you have in your hands when reporting.
Report an accident toéreo
- The first thing to take into account is that every accidentéprisoner has human beings and family members seriously injured by the news, so first is respect for them and alsoén, to the airline workersínea.
- The úonly way to know whaté notó in an accidentéprisoner is waiting for the report, so any informationóThe above are only speculations or information.ófalse n.
- Do not give opinions with possible causes for knowing about airplanes or because something was seen in a photo, just investigate itóOf official to sayá and it can take months toños.
- Sharing photos of bodies is terrible and jamáyes it must be done.
- Photos of parts of the avión is manageable, citing the sources and remembering to respect those involved.
- Vídeos of the supposed avión accident where its veracity cannot be confirmed, you should always avoid them.
- Lists with passenger names go back to the first point, respect to relatives.
¿Dóto report an accident toéreo?
I can't tell youówhere to read your news, everyone is free to trust the informationón what youú public favorite media, but yesí You can check other sources of opinionón.
Personally, I always look for respectable Aviaci accounts.ón like Aviation Safety, Flight Radar 24, FAA, aircraft manufacturers or other, but the best will always beán the official accounts of the airlineípoint in questionón and authority aeronáutica of the país where the event occurred.
I say this because some or many media outletsón traditional people are unaware of the industry, looking for headlines that generate controversy and noise.
It is an opinion postón, given to some comments that have been made on my networks regarding what should or should not be shared when an accident occurséreo.
Hi Nicolas, as a specialist in air accident management and having managed the terrible Lapa accident, I wanted to give you my opinion.
The function of spokesperson in an accident is very important and should be designated with an agreement between the airline or company and the aeronautical authority and must be part of the company's accident management plan incorporated into the Airport Emergency Plan and it will be determined what What is said at the meeting of the COE emergency operations center since the situation is very changing minute by minute
Let's take into account that the spokesperson must resist and know how to answer the questions of the media without giving incorrect or insufficient information and counteract what was said by the circumstantial spokespersons. ( airport employees or public)
summarizing ( It's a difficult topic)The coordination of communication between all the protagonists and authorities of what is transmitted and how it is transmitted is unfailingly necessary.
Hello Sergio, What a good explanation that you share with us and I totally agree with you in all your opinion. Effective communication is key and does not generate misunderstandings or interpretations.
Surely anyone who knows aviation and has some knowledge of accidents will know where to look for such information., the problem is the usual consumer who reads sensational and speculative headlines, however I also know that people who have no experience processing this type of information do not omit their own comments or opinions, they always turn to an expert, so ultimately the media are the main culprits of the tabloids that seek to sell more regardless of what you say in your article about the sensitivity of those involved in a passenger accident, relatives, crew etc.… So it is a great responsibility for blogs or pages like these to overcome those barriers of disinformation of the common media to arrive and immediately bring truthful information about an event that requires that objective news attached to the facts based on reliable sources.… Greetings and happy flights…
Thanks, good comment.
