ITN coverage of Bosnia, 1992
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In the latest edition of last week's issue, under the heading "ITN 'may sue over article'", we reported allegations published in the magazine Living Marxism which were critical of ITN, News at Ten reporter Penny Marshall and ITN camera crews. These allegations related to ITN coverage of the Trnopolje camp in Bosnia in 1992. Having investigated the matter ourselves, we accept that ITN's award-winning reports were fair and impartial. We are happy to set the matter straight.
We also repeated the suggestion that ITN's Penny Marshall and Ed Vulliamy of the Guardian visited the camp at the request of Serbian leader Radovan Karadzic, who asked them to visit in order to scotch rumours of Bosnian- Serb atrocities at the site. We accept that this was not the case and regret publishing the claims.
