| Subject: The London School of Economics: BBC 'put students at risk' in North Korea Mon Apr 15, 2013 2:55 am | |
| The BBC has denied claims that it put students from a London university at risk when an undercover journalist accompanied them on a field trip to North Korea.
John Sweeney, a reporter for the Panorama TV program, is said to have joined the student group from the London School of Economics on a visit to North Korea so he could carry out secret filming.
The LSE says the students "were not given enough information to enable informed consent" and were "endangered", the BBC reported.
LSE director Professor Craig Calhoun accused the corporation of "lies and deception from the outset" and of putting the students at risk, telling Sky News it was "unwilling to take responsibility" for the risks it caused.
