Wow!
Baranja learned that Koda Productions, which produces the show for Network 13, reached an agreement with Katsav's attorney Adv. Zion Amir about watching the episodes of the series before their broadcast date
Network 13 decided not to broadcast Sion Cohen-Saban's film about the Moshe Katsav case.
The network stated that "the management of the network does not feel satisfied with the final result and therefore the decision was made not to broadcast it".
This week it was revealed in Vala!
Barangay that the network agreed with Katsav's lawyer about an early viewing of the program.
A source in the network claims today in a conversation with Walla!
Culture that the interview will not be broadcast after "on behalf of Katsav they wanted to intervene and remove all kinds of things from the interview - and Reshet did not agree".
Network 13 denies.
Moshe Katsav was accused of rape about 15 years ago, convicted and sentenced to seven years in prison.
His conviction aroused enormous interest in the media - in Israel and around the world, but Katsav himself remained silent throughout the years and categorically refused to be interviewed.
This week it was announced on Network 13 that Katsav will soon be interviewed for the first time on the "Truth Moment" program, in which "Sion Cohen-Saban goes back to the days of the beginning of the case, Katsav's refusal to agree to a plea deal, in which he was only accused of kissing the cheek and caressing his thigh until his conviction for rape in two courts. Katsav speaks for the first time In front of Cohen-Saban's camera and answers the difficult questions. The program will bring new revelations, which have not yet been revealed, about what took place behind the scenes of the affair that rocked Israel."
Wow!
It was revealed this week that Coda Productions, where they produce the show for Network 13, reached an agreement with Katsav's lawyer, Adv. Zion Amir, about viewing the episodes of the series before their broadcast date. Early viewing of documentary projects, or those that require extended human sensitivity, such as in the case of bereaved parents or victims of sexual or violent crimes. Certainly not in the context of interviews with former politicians or public figures. The episodes in advance but he has no option to download or change anything and has no right of veto.
Zion is not present at the viewing, so Zion Amir cannot influence her."
Today a network official says in a conversation with Walla!
Culture that the interview will not be broadcast after "on behalf of Katsav they wanted to intervene and remove all kinds of things from the interview - and Reshet did not agree".
Network 13 responded: "This is really, really, really untrue and not close to the truth for the simple reason: they didn't see the interview."
Another person, close to the network, says to Walla!
Culture: "There should be significant journalistic value for a story like this. Naturally, during work on a story like this, several versions are made, a first, second and third version, there are discussions and there are many opinions. The journalistic value was not good enough. Real journalism needs to have courage even in a problematic case, If you are afraid to say something new, then there is no point. The interview was perfectly fine, the problem is that there are many opinions on such an issue. It was agreed that Zion Amir would watch, the condition was that he would correct only if there were factual corrections. The reason why it is not broadcast is that it had no journalistic value, and the latest version was Just boring. It has to be said that this is a brave decision by a network that has economic significance."
