Well for example, they'll be chatting to a guest and then the producers will show a pic relevant to the conversation. And it will always be blurred. Have a look on one of their clips on YouTube and you'll see what I mean. 'Good Morning Britain' does it too. I just can't see the logic behind this. Why show something that we can't make heads or tails out of?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghozer Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I believe they blur the majority of the photo, EXCEPT the particular subject or part/area of the image they are talking about at the time.. as there could be any number of bits of information or other people in the background etc on the image, that's not relevant, so the blur most of it to obscure and protect privacy.

Privacy is a big thing these days. Photos and footage broadcast may capture children or grown adults or shop fronts or logos in the background who are nothing to do with the featured story and who quite rightly dont want their image splashed all over the media and misinterpreted. You see it a lot when children (even those maybe belonging to a featured celebrity) are blurred out of paparazzi photograph or on street interviews which are deliberately framed in order to avoid showing an unconnected business in the background who either doesn't want to be shown or in some cases, has not paid an advertising fee to be shown.

TyneSoft Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 But how do you explain the photo being blurred when it's just 1 person in the pic? That same person that they're chatting to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghozer Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 likely covering the background, so cannot identify where picture was taken, or covering any logos/advertising or anything else similar... There's any number of reasons for doing it, also, possibly because it takes your focus away from the surrounding, and lets you see and concentrate on the subject they are talking about...
