Title: Bad scare over TV report about DOH "blue alert" on Mayon eruption
Post by: Joe Carillo on December 22, 2009, 11:54:43 PM

I got a big scare at 2:00 p.m. today (December 22, 2009) when ANC, ABS-CBN's cable news channel, ran a newsflash on the screen that the Department of Health has declared the whole Bicol Region on "blue alert" due to the increasing eruptive activity of Mayon Volcano. Read in my Media English Watch why I think this kind of out-of-context TV reporting should be avoided (http://josecarilloforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=455.msg1487#new).
