TRADUCTION: Traduire de façon authentique

Des caméras cachées au service du journalisme d’investigation

Les caméras cachées utilisées au Winterbourne View ont fourni des preuves si violentes que le programme a failli être impossible à regarder hier soir par des gens confortablement installés sur le canapé de leur salon. Mais il a été assez convaincant en utilisant des commentateurs autoritaires, pour inciter un gouvernement sous le choc à prendre des mesures palliatives quelques heures plus tard. Personne ne pourrait accuser le reportage de faire du sensationnalisme ou bien d’être de qualité douteuse. Le reporter infiltré, le journaliste télé Joe Casey, a obtenu ces images en se faisant embaucher pour 5 semaines comme aide-soignant.
