No explanation was given for the removal of a filmed report from the BBC News website after three days.
No improvements to ‘language when reporting terrorism’ in the BBC’s new editorial guidelines.
We’re not sure at this point if the article has been temporarily removed pending an edit, or if it was taken down for good.
