Evolution of AFP Coverage of UNRWA School Fatalities On Friday, - TopicsExpress



          

Evolution of AFP Coverage of UNRWA School Fatalities On Friday, we noted that Agence-France Presse reported as fact, in both news articles and photo captions, that an Israeli shell was responsible for at least 15 fatalities in an UNRWA school in the northern Gaza Strip July 24, despite the fact that United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon himself had said: Circumstances are still unclear. On Thursday, army officials suggested that an errant Palestinian rocket may have been responsible. CAMERA staff last week contacted editors to ask if they had information that Ban Ki-Moon did not. While AFP has neither retracted nor produced any substantiation for blaming Israel, todays story does walk back the unequivocal declaration of Israeli responsibility.
