HERALD WEEKLY ISSUE 495 : 20 January 2010

Correction and apology

During the Police report on CITV News on 31 December 2009 the report showed film footage of the main road in Titikaveka at Kent Hall and included a shot of Karl Numunga’s store “Kano’s” the same moment as a “voice over” referred to a report of employees stealing from their employer.
Numanga says the report had led some members of the public to assume the employees involved worked at his store. This is not so. Numanga says the offenders involved are in no way connected with his shop and that his two female staff who are both Filipino, are innocent, honest people.
CITV News acknowledges that the inadvertent depiction of Kano’s Store may have lead some people to draw the wrong conclusions and duly apologises to Numanga and his employees.
CITV News also featured an apology during the news on Monday evening.
