CCTV apologizes for staging donation video 新闻联播就火炬手空手捐款画面致歉

CCTV (China Central Televition Station)apologizes for its staging video of Olympic torch bearers' donating money to victims suffering from the devastating earthquake striking Sichuan Province, China.
The video was aired on 13 May in CCTV's "News Simultaneous Broadcasting" or Xin Wen Lian Bo, the most important news program everyday which has the highest ratings. The video shows three Olympic torch bearers' donating money with empty hands after the relay in Fujian Province that day. The video stimulated the netizens' anger wildly.
After the investigation, it turns out that the torch bearers were asked to pose for the photographers after the "real" donation. The footage shoot by Fujian Televition Station were sent to CCTV via satellite without censor by the local tv.
The apology statement on the homepage of CCTV says that the editors of the national tv "failed to check it out because when they got the footage the air time was just near the corner, and they were already busy with the live special program covering the earthquake". CCTV also apologizes to the torch bearers for misunderstanding and the criticism.


5月13日《新闻联播》新闻"奥运圣火完成在福建龙岩的传递"，播出了奥运火炬手为灾区人民捐款的画面。画面中三位火炬手只有捐款的动作，手中没有拿钱。
据查证，这是一些报社摄影者请求火炬手们在捐款箱前合影留念的画面，作为素材传回福建广电新闻中心，但该部门在未经值班主任审查前，将长度近2分钟的捐款活动素材传送给了­中央电视台。而当时距新闻联播播出时间非常接近，加上当时正在紧张直播特别节目，导致编辑人员在时间非常紧的情况下，没有仔细审核，将这一画面编辑并播出。央视就此郑重道­歉，并表示这次误编画面的播出给三位向灾区捐款的火炬手也带来了不良影响，在此也向她们致歉。
