Complaint

A listener complained that an item in this bulletin had allowed Israel to 鈥渇rame events鈥 concerning fighting around the Al-Shifa hospital in such a way that the coverage offered on the subject was 鈥渂iased distorted and misleading鈥 听The ECU considered the complaint in the light of the 大象传媒鈥檚 editorial standards of impartiality.


Outcome

The item reflected what was known at the time about the fighting around the hospital and, in the absence of information from independent sources on the ground, reflected both Israeli and Palestinian perspectives.听 The ECU considered this sufficient to achieve impartial coverage.
