New Zealand's major media organizations pledge not to promote white supremacist ideology when covering the trial of the man charged with killing 50 people at 2 mosques in March.

New Zealand's major media organizations pledged Wednesday, May 1, 2019, not to promote white supremacist ideology when covering the trial of the man charged with killing 50 people at two mosques.
The organizations said the commitment extended to coverage of Tarrant’s 74-page manifesto and broadcasting symbolic images. That clause came after Tarrant made a hand gesture at his first court appearance, which is sometimes associated with white supremacists. John Gillespie, the head of news and current affairs at Television New Zealand, said it would likely be a confronting trial given the number of people affected by the harrowing shootings.
