A decision taken to avoid spreading the terrorist organization’s propaganda. Monica Maggioni, the channel director, explains: “We have taken this decision after months of discussion with all of the editors. The Islamic State has become a kind of Hollywood of terror. Their videos are studied, each communication is carefully analysed. And we do not want to be part of their propaganda. One reason being we don’t know how far they will go.” She added the channel will continue to inform the public about the Islamic State through screen captures and analysis, “to act as a buffer between the Islamic State, its propaganda and you.”
