On January 9, 2015, 6 people hid in a Kosher Supermarket when a gunman went on a shooting spree.These 6 people who fortunately made it out alive are suing the French media for live broadcasting information about them during the time of the shooting. French news stations live broadcast revealed the whereabouts of the people while they were still in hiding. They believe that if the gunman would have had access to live television, he would have been able to find them and kill them. BFMTV information director Hervé Béroud admitted that revealing the whereabouts of the hostages was an error and a huge mistake. The debate is now on who to blame. Is it the fault of the entire media station, the editing department or the journalist himself? Whoever gets the blame, they could face up to 1 year in prison and pay a fine of 15,000 euros ($16,500).
