Violences: France 3 dissociates itself
Computer translation
The public chain decided not to more announce in its national newspapers the number of burnt cars

It is what declared in charge Monday the assistant general manager of the information of France 3, Paul Nahon.

According to him, it is still possible to cover urban violences "with the proviso of doing it with understanding, with responsibility". "One puts tous.les.jours questions, since 11 days", it underlined on Europe 1.

"This role of the image is present in our spirit since the beginning (...) Each day, our tactic evolves/moves. For example, the question which one put today very concretely, it is to know if one continues to give the number of cars which burn ", explained Mr. Nahon.

"How one covers? What does one have to show, to pay? One it right to make self-censorship, censure? Does one have all to show, all to explain? Here with what one has been confronted for 11 days ", Mr. Nahon specified.

Questioned on the analysis of the association S.O.S Racism which reproached Sunday certain media for introducing urban violences "like a civil war" and the inhabitants of the suburbs like "savages", Mr. Nahon affirmed that, "for France 3 and France 2, they is false".
