A pair of Vancouver TV stations that broadcast video of a deadly school stabbing violated ethics codes, according to the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC).
Both Global BC and CTV Vancouver aired censored cellphone video of the Nov. 1 incident at Abbotsford Senior Secondary School that left one teenage girl dead and another seriously injured.
That evening, CTV broadcast the clip during its 6 p.m. newscast and Global aired it during both its 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. programs, according to the CBSC.
