“Most reporters in Gaza believe their job is to document violence directed by Israel at Palestinian civilians,” recalls Matti Friedman, a former AP correspondent, in Tablet Magazine. “A gap has opened (in Israel) between the way things are and they way they are described.” He explains how most international news bureaus assign dozens of reporters to Israel, other international locations receive very few or no international journalists assigned to them full-time. (In the case of the AP, over 40 staff are assigned to report on Israel, more than China, Russian, India, or the all the 50 countries in sub-Saharan Africa combined.) Editors “believe Israel to be the most important story on earth, or very close,” and the result is a disproportionate obsession with the Jewish state. aish/jw/mo/Distorted-Headlines-against-Israel.html
