Danish TV sorry for using Assassin’s Creed screenshot in report on Syria war
Computer games are getting more and more realistic – as a Danish TV company found out to its cost.
Channel TV2 has been forced to apologise for using a screenshot of video game Assassin’s Creed as a backdrop for a news report about the fighting in Syria.
A member of staff found the image online and mistook it for a photograph of the Damascus skyline.
Jacob Nybroe, head of news at TV2, said it was a ‘reminder to us all of the importance of verifying the sources of pictures’.
