Dear Ms Gallier Reference CAS-2536358-21QZ8V Thanks for contacting us regarding BBC News. I understand you feel not enough coverage has been given to the annual dolphin hunt in Taiji, Japan. Of course the choice of news stories to report is frequently very difficult. Editorial members of staff always have a wide range of reports to cover and their choices have to be selective. We know that a report thats of great interest to one part of our audience may be of little interest to another but no matter how carefully such decisions are made, its inevitable that some people will disagree with them. However, we do broadcast across television, radio and internet as well as interactive services such as BBC Red Button, this allows us to cover reports in greater detail with a broader range of information not possible on other platforms. On that note we can assure you this was covered on our News Channel, for example on the 20 January at 20:00, as well as on the 21 January at 11:00 and 11:30. If it would be of interest, we’ve included a link to Rupert Wingfield-Hayes report from Tokyo, which was broadcast on the BBC News Channel on 20 January. In particular this included footage of the practice as shot by activists along with an interview with Melissa Sehgal of Sea Shepherd as well as reporting on how the American Ambassador to Japan, Caroline Kennedy, tweeted her concerns about drive hunt dolphin killing. bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-25823024 Nevertheless, please be assured that your comments have been registered to our audience log. This is a daily report of audience feedback made available throughout the BBC including the BBC News team, as well as members of senior management. The audience logs help to shape future decisions regarding BBC programming and output. Thanks again for taking the time to contact us. Kind Regards Paul Graham BBC Complaints bbc.co.uk/complaints
