people come to the journalism they trust, and particularly the power of regional and local journalism shows its real brilliance through events like this. but it is important to tread carefully but at the same time, not to undermine the journalistic instinct to find out what has happened, to be able to explain to the public, particularly in liverpool, i m sure, maria, who are scared. what does this mean, is there more, what s going to happen? let s think some more about some of the other ethical issues here. last week, a group called survivors against terror published a report criticising the media for intrusion, citing awful examples like a teenager who learnt first from a journalist that her brother had been killed. and this week, the wife of the liverpool taxi driver has complained about press intrusion. kamal ahmed, what is doorstepping, and how fundamental is it in a story
i don t see much evidence of the actual divisions within newsrooms. journalists are inquisitive, curious people who want to tell the stories that affect their audiences from their audience s point of view. and that s really what we are all for. i remember my time as a journalist, that s what you tried to do and this team here is what they want to do. and actually, what s been really amazing working with a very young team is that they want to all learn together. and this idea of peer to peer journalism so friends finding out together rather than the professor of news tells the pupil, the audience is really important. we ve had some really good discussions about how we approach different issues. people have different opinions but i think alljournalists understand, as was said, that there are different points of view. i lljust interrupt because i want to put that point to maria breslin, editor of the liverpool echo what about your newsroom? are you seeing divisions?
so we didn t do it lightly, and it was certainly in context of what was happening at that point. but any language we ve used throughout our coverage has always been language used by the authorities, we ve not jumped to conclusions. sorry to interrupt, maria, kamal ahmed, obviously these are conversations you ve had in the past in your previous job at the bbc. does that resonate with you, those decisions you have to take? absolutely, kate. i remember the horrific attacks in christchurch, new zealand. i remember when i was head of news at the observer when the 7/7 attacks happened in 2005, the london bombings. and maria absolutely nails it you have to take care. but it is a time, as well, katie, when there s so much brilliant journalism that s done that people need to have things explained. i think you re absolutely right, maria, this notion of the trusted source is really important.
