The Buzz | Denmark’s TV2 channel opens office in Syrian capital

Denmark’s TV2 broadcaster says it has opened an office in Damascus, claiming to be the only western media to do so.
Mikkel Hertz, news director of the channel based in Odense, in central Denmark, says it was “a unique opportunity” that the channel obtained a permanent visa in Syria after “a long process.” He did not elaborate.
Longtime war correspondent Rasmus Tantholdt says it is “a better starting point for filtering out the propaganda emanating from all the warring parties.”
Heryz says the office opened yesterday on the 15th floor of a high-rise “in a relatively peaceful area” in the city.
