Ha'aretz Blends News, Opinion
The Israel Press Council's Rules of Professional Ethics of Journalism states:
A newspaper and a journalist shall distinguish in the publication between news items and opinion.
On Monday, though, Ha'aretz's Nir Hasson paid no regard to this professional guideline when he reported on a Labor-Meimad gathering for the religiously observant. Blatantly throwing in his own personal views, he writes:
There were none of the scenes of youths trying to stir up the crowd that dominate such right-wing events: Left-wing religious people are apparently level-headed, mature people who are not easily agitated.
Are you agitated about this journalistic abuse? Want to share your feedback--objective or otherwise--with the publisher? Write to Amos Schocken at amoss@haaretz.co.il
