The world’s oldest news agency, Reuters, says it will complain to CanWest Global’s newspaper chain about alterations made to some of its stories dealing with the Middle East. CanWest Publications newspapers have been altering words and phrases in wire copy stories dealing with the war in Iraq and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In one Reuters story, the original copy reads: ”… the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, which has been involved in a four-year-old revolt against Israeli occupation in Gaza and the West Bank.”
In the National Post version... it became: ”… the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a terrorist group that has been involved in a four-year-old campaign of violence against Israel.”
