The BBC has admitted that a graphic image it had claimed was of dozens of
people killed by the Burmese cyclone had in fact been taken after the Boxing
Day tsunami in Sumatra in 2004.
Peter Horrocks, the head of the newly created BBC multimedia newsroom, said
the corporation was reviewing the processes by which it receives pictures.
The picture was used during a BBC News report by the correspondent Natalia
Antelava on Thursday night, purportedly showing dozens of bodies that
Antelava had seen in the Irrawaddy Delta. The picture also featured in an
introduction to a report by Huw Edwards. The account was broadcast after
Antelava left Burma in order to protect the correspondent, the BBC said.
