Chairman Roch-Olivier Maistre and the members of the board of the French regulatory authority for audiovisual and digital communication (Arcom) were deeply saddened to learn of the tragic death of Frédéric Leclerc-Imhoff, an image reporter with BFMTV, who was killed today in Ukraine in the course of his work.

Arcom associates itself with the emotion and grief of his family, the BFMTV teams and his fellow journalists, to whom it sends its sincere condolences. Our thoughts are also with Maxime Brandstaetter, the BFMTV reporter who accompanied him, and their fixer Oksana Leuta.

This loss reminds us once again of the heavy price paid by all those who, day after day, provide our news by bearing witness to the realities of this conflict. Through their commitment and courage, they exemplify the values of an entire profession.
