    So desperate to be the news...

    How low can you go?

    Reminds me a couple of other "journalists" who became the news.


    https://metro.co.uk/2021/07/23/germa...n-up-14975891/

    A German broadcast journalist has been suspended after she was caught apparently smearing herself in mud before filming a report in a town devastated by floods.

    Susanna Ohlen, 39, was caught on video appearing to muddy herself to pretend she had helped with clean up efforts in the ravaged spa town of Bad Munstereifel, North Rhine-Westphalia, in Germany.

    The reporter had featured in an RTL.de article with the headline: ‘Cleaning up after the flood: RTL presenter lends a hand in Bad Munstereifel’.

    But footage was shared on social media by an onlooker who captured her bending down to grab mud and wipe it on her face before presenting the report.

    Following online backlash, RTL has since taken down the article and announced it had taken action to reprimand Ms Ohlen, who has apologised.


    The channel said: ‘Our reporter’s approach clearly contradicts journalistic principles and our own standards.

    ‘We therefore gave her a leave of absence on Monday after we heard about it.’

    Ms Ohlen is seen in the footage wearing a blue shirt, a white t shirt, a bucket hat, wellies and a glove, with her back to the camera.

    With her back to the camera, the reporter bends down towards the rubble and appears to grab some mud and wipe it down her shirt.

    Ms Ohlen then bends down a second time, stands up and wipes her face before turning to face her camera crew.

    Ms Ohlen has reportedly worked at RTL since 2008 and presents the popular news shows Good Evening RTL, Good Morning Germany, Point 12, and others.

    More than 188 people have died in the catastrophic floods which inundated towns across Germany and Belgium.

    There are concerns the death toll will rise further as search teams continue to look through the rubble for those who are still missing.

        Nothing wrong with journalists going undercover.

        There is an issue with them lying.

              Undercover, or under the covers?

                Reminds me of war-zone journalists who carry a child's toy in their bag a place it on the rubble for effect.
