The world has recently been overwhelmed by news reporting and coverage on the incident off-the coast of Gaza. The incident involved the Israeli Navy and a small fleet or flotilla of ships bound for blockaded Gaza and occurred in international waters.
The international flotilla was carrying aid meant for the people of Palestine. The flotilla was also ferrying peace activists and volunteers. However, on early Monday morning of May 31, 2010, the Israeli Navy decided to board the flotilla. A confrontation was reported. And as a result of that, several passengers become casualties and many others are injured.
Up to the time of this entry, the interest in the issue remained strong. And the issue still make news as the impact is very much felt and lingered amongst not only people in Malaysia but also the entire world. Many news reports have been made thus far, be it locally or internationally. Some of them are rather factual and to-the-point, but there are also those which raise concerns in relation to ethical reporting.
To illustrate my point, I present you with 2 news articles from The New Straits Times (NST) and The New York Times (NY Times).
