Let's see, a CNN globe with data trails, rasing itself out of water over a sky background set to a special David Lowe composition, played on piano with a Sky Tempo? :p

The BBC is planning a day of action tomorrow (Thursday 12 April) to highlight the plight of Alan Johnston, BBC Gaza correspondent, who was abducted on 12 March 2007.

The day of action will see for the first time, the four major international news broadcasters will come together to produce a special programme.

The BBC's two TV news channels - BBC World and BBC News 24 - together with Al Jazeera English and Sky News will simulcast the programme, and there will also be contributions from CNN.

As part of the day's activity, for the first time, a simulcast programme will go on air from 2.30 to 3pm anchored by Jeremy Bowen, the BBC's Middle East Editor, from Ramallah.

It will incorporate packages from the BBC, Al-Jazeera, CNN, and Sky. It will also have live reports from BBC, Al-Jazeera and Sky anchors and correspondents in Ramallah, Gaza and London.

The programme will look back at events in the month since Alan's disappearance and will include background packages on day-to-day life in Gaza as well as the increasing threats facing journalists working in danger zones around the world.



Why - they wouldn't do this if it was an ordinary aid worker or someone!

It wasnt done when a FOX News reporter was hostage or when other news organisations have had people held hostage.

Yes fair pint but would you really want to associate yourself with Fox News any more than necessary? I think not.

I guess I missed it. It wasn't advertised at all that I saw. I only noticed (after the event) because of this thread. How did it go?

Probably just goes to show how much respect the rest of the industry has for Fox News!

Perhaps that's the point.... it could be that this latest kidnapping is an 'enough' moment for the broadcasters. The last 4 or so years have seen a number of abduction, injuries and deaths amongst journalists and crews: Terry Lloyd, Frank Gardner/Simon Cumbers and Tareq Ayyoub being 3 cases that spring to mind.

he has also been missing for a month - far longer than any other Western journalist.

See the main Alan Johnson thread for a video I posted on YouTube. (It was the same as the closing montage)
