The earthquake in Haiti at the beginning of 2010 proved to be one of the biggest and most difficult international stories for the BBC to cover in the past year. Access to the worst affected areas, lack of communication and the challenges of what the BBC could and should show made it a huge challenge for all involved.
In this Journalism Programme debrief, Mary Hockaday, the Head of the BBC Newsroom, World Affairs producer Nick Springate and Paul Royall, the Deputy Editor of the Six O'Clock News and Ten O'Clock News, discussed these issues.
Key points included what images it's right to show before the watershed, how you can depict the real scale of the disaster and how to feed material back with virtually no means of getting in touch with the teams in London.
