Palestine was once again in the news today as a result of UNESCO's raising of the Palestinian flag over their headquarters in Paris, France. It has been roughly a month since UNESCO's controversial vote that resulted in Palestine gaining recognition within that particular United Nations body. I thought to share with you some of the articles covering the event. Can you see a difference in tone between the various news agencies? How much of that, do you think, has to do with their country's view of the situation? Can news be reported unbiasedly or will government affiliations and stances skew things? I do not know for sure, but it is definitely things I thought about while reading these articles.
