’BBC verbiedt Black Lives Matter-symbolen’ | Entertainment

entertainment">According to sources within the BBC The Daily Telegraph know that the measure would suppress the appearance that the broadcaster supports the BLM movement. The broadcaster would also see BLM as a campaign and therefore applies the same rules. “The BBC cannot put one goal above another and Black Lives Matter is certainly a campaign,” the statement said.

entertainment">“For that reason, we don’t want anyone to wear visible symbols that show they support the movement. Our presenters and guests are allowed to discuss Black Lives Matter and we have covered the subject before. We are not impartial when it comes to racism, but wearing badges, like any other campaign, is going too far. ”

entertainment">In an official statement to The Independent the BBC reports that journalists and presenters should never wear badges, buttons or politically charged symbols when they are on television. “We have always maintained that principle and we do so now,” said a spokesman.
