Press Council does not accept complaint against SDA
Chronologies of an event published in the press do not claim to be complete. This was decided by the Press Council following a complaint against the SDA chronicle on the military accident on the Kander.
The Press Council has not accepted a complaint against an SDA chronicle on the military accident on the Kander in June 2008. By publishing an incomplete list, the SDA had violated paragraphs 1 and 3 - truth and concealment of important information - according to the complainant. A serious accident in 1981 with four dead recruits was not listed.
Editorial offices have a great deal of discretion in the selection and weighting of information, the Press Council wrote on Monday. Neither does the omission of individual events make a chronicle untrue, nor is the complete mention of the accidents criticized by the complainant as missing essential for the readership's understanding, the reasoning continues.
