          Quote “The Dec. 31, 2007 episode of 24 Oras showed a lengthy footage of exploding firecracker shops in Bocaue, Bulacan. The five-minute video clip is very shaky and therefore unfit to be televised. The editors of the said early evening Kapuso newscast should have edited and shortened the footage so that it can show the newsworthy elements of the said firecracker-related incident.

        

        Quote “24 Oras violated the provision in the Television Code of the Kapisanan ng mga Broadcaster sa Pilipinas which states that good taste must prevail in the selection and handling of news. The shaky scene showing the cameraman fleeing to safety should have been removed. They also violated another provision of the KBP’s TV Code which says that editors and deskmen should be diligent in their supervision and evaluation of content, format and presentation of news broadcasts.  Posted by: Paglinawan, Adriel M.,2005-12380 Jan 9, 10:51 PM — “ closed-quote.
