The reliability of journalists is a key component of professional journalism. In this case, the reporter, Jeppe Nybroe, mis-reported troop locations and also added in repeating sound effects.
Was the first a mistake or deliberate? In the second incident, was the sound editing deceptive?
His employer nixed both actions, and also said that Nybroe denied editing when questioned.
Now he's out of a job.
False TV broadcasts from Iraq have led national broadcaster DR to terminate its contract with its up-and-coming star, Jeppe Nybroe.Growing evidence revealed that on two separate occasions, Nybroe had manipulated his reports from Iraq to make them more dramatic.
DR first reprimanded Nybroe in August for a misleading report in which the 34-year-old reporter said he could see the last Danish troops withdrawing from Iraq. In reality, the troops were on their way back into Iraq on a patrol.
While DR was investigating the case, Jyllands-Posten newspaper caught wind of another occasion in which Nybroe edited the same background explosion so it sounded three times to create additional effect.
