- I'm a little surprised by what I've seen.
For my part, I want you to show as far as possible what is happening.
Afterwards, you can evaluate, analyze and sort it out for the audience in the studio, says Charlotta Friborg, responsible publisher for SVT's vigil.
She believes that although statements can be seen as controversial, it is worth showing the public, because a president who questions the electoral system is historic in its context.
- But it's easy for me to say here in Sweden.
American media know that there is a risk of skirmishes and riots, so maybe you want to curb it.
But as far as possible, I think you should try to give a context, she says.
Described the choice as rigged
Incumbent President Donald Trump described the election as rigged and that the Democrats were trying to steal the election with invalid votes.
On several occasions, NBC, MSNBC and ABC interrupted to interrupt and fact-check the statements in real time.
Ekot did not broadcast the entire press conference, but had audio clips from it, followed by analysis in the night broadcasts by their Washington correspondent.
The choice not to broadcast the entire press conference was not due to what could have been said, but because it was going on in the middle of the night Swedish time.
When would it be time to cancel?
- When it is legal or ethical across the border.
But even there I would set the bar high, because statements from a sitting president are still interesting and relevant to show.
The problem is bigger if someone is just talking and it is repetitive, says Charlotta Friborg.
TV4's responsible publisher, Fredrick Malmberg, is on the same track.
- For us, there is legislation to follow.
When, for example, there is incitement against ethnic groups, we need to interrupt, but that is not what I know, something that Trump has done.
We have journalistic and ethical rules to abide by, he says.
